This Is a Past Event

Join Eric Soto-Shed, Lecturer on Education (HGSE), for a conversation on teaching controversial issues in polarized times. Developing frameworks for embracing controversy while mitigating potential student harm can be a powerful way to navigate today’s divided civic climate. This event explores how we can turn potential conflict into opportunities for deeper learning.

This program is coordinated through the Office of the Vice Provost for Advances in Learning and will be livestreamed to the alumni community in collaboration with the Harvard Alumni Association.
