Improve your skills for engaging controversy in the classroom! Apply now for the spring 2012 Difficult Dialogues Faculty Fellows Program.

In 2008-2009, the Ford Foundation awarded 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 and APU one of only 13 two-year grants nationwide to continue our work with the national Difficult Dialogues project. Building upon the work already done, the Center for Advancing Faculty Excellence (CAFE) is offering faculty the opportunity to participate in a spring 2012 faculty development series centered around the book, Start Talking: A Handbook for Engaging Difficult Dialogues in Higher Education. Start Talking is based on the experiences of 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 and APU faculty who participated in the first Ford Foundation's national Difficult Dialogues initiative. The book, which has achieved national recognition, addresses themes of academic freedom, classroom safety, rhetoric and debate, race, class and culture, science and religion, business, politics and social justice and is designed to serve as a manual for professors who wish to strengthen their teaching and engage students more effectively in conversations about the most important issues of our time.

Faculty will meet five times during the spring 2012 semester to discuss strategies and techniques for introducing controversial topics in the classroom and ensuring productive discussions. Faculty Fellows will receive $100 stipends for 老澳门六合彩开奖记录/APU Consortium Library materials purchases (see application criteria below). Other faculty are welcome to improve their skills at introducing difficult dialogues in the classroom by attending individual sessions on a "drop-in" basis.
