Focus: Far too many educators are unprepared to engage their students in authentic dialog concerning divisive social issues that arise in classroom discussions. “Hot topics” or divisive social discussions and assignments have an increasingly significant place in college classrooms. These faculty and student led discussions allow students opportunities to develop their understanding of others who are different from them while affirming people of diverse backgrounds. Students’ perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes about divisive social issues are directly influenced by faculty’s willingness to engage in authentic discourse. Submitted topics may address questions such as those presented below: How do you engage in authentic dialog/discourse in the classroom around “hot topics” or divisive social issues? Everyday you have to stand up in front of the classroom and engage students around multiple topics. If the course content is not socially divisive, these divisive issues are embodied in the students themselves. How do you maintain engagement and at the same time address these issues in an ethical manner? How do faculty share their own personal narratives in the classroom that is generative to the classroom process, yet does not exploit the student? How do students share their own personal narratives in the classroom with peer biased cultural, ethnic, sexual orientation, disabled, gender, age, and other social class judgments and perspectives? How do faculty make choices and face challenges when blending divisive social issues during experiential learning? Who May Submit: Submissions are welcome from anyone (researchers, administrators, teacher, graduate students co-authored with professor, and trainers) working with students, of all ages, in a learning environment. Please identify your submission with keyword: STUDENT-9 Submission deadline: On-going submission requests with cut-off date set by issue publication month. See Regular and Short submission deadline.
