As part of The Dialogue Project, DCAL’s Elizabeth Hayes Alvarez will be hosting an online workshop for faculty on Handling Difficult Conversations in the Classroom. We will explore why difficult conversations become heated so quickly and how to create brave spaces that keep these important discussions happening without incivility and escalation. The one-hour online workshop will be followed up by an optional series of in-person conversations where faculty can apply and discuss their experiences with hot topics in their classrooms. Registration required, please register here

The Dialogue Project provides intentional training in the development of essential collaborative dialogue skills—fostering a community that cultivates the respectful and open exchange of ideas. Programming for students, faculty, and staff builds skills in such topics as empathetic listening, managing emotions, navigating conversations, and finding points of connection.
