Seeking guidance & support for navigating controversial topics in your classroom? 

Join this Munch & Learn – a welcoming space for faculty to share experiences and concerns, explore best practices, and engage in dialogue that upholds academic freedom and professional and discipline-specific standards. The session features a brief panel discussion, small-group sharing, and an open Q&A.

Light refreshments will be served – but feel free to bring your lunch! 

Facilitators: Kate Seltzer, Associate Professor; Andrea Hawkman, Associate Professor;  Melissa Wheatcroft, General Counsel; and Jill Perry, Associate Professor & Director of the Faculty Center
