While students can benefit from engaging in controversial topics there are also many risks and potential pitfalls in these pedagogical situations. While so much of our research and teaching involves engaging with difficult questions and topics, we don\u0026rsquo;t always have opportunities to discuss these experiences and how to manage them. This roundtable workshop is designed to open up dialogues about teaching controversial topics in our current moment. It will include opportunities for junior faculty to share ideas with faculty who have had significant experience teaching such controversial topics as race, climate change, sexuality, red and blue politics, etc.The workshop will focus on the following:\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003Edesigning a course that engages students on controversial topics\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003Emanaging classroom discussions on controversial topic\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003Ewhat to do when an unexpected controversy comes up\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe workshop is designed as an opportunity for junior faculty to network with junior and senior colleagues from across the Ivan Allen College.
