Please select as many topics as you like

Facilitating Politically Charged Discussions: This two-day workshop is designed for experienced facilitators interested in training others on campus to facilitate politically charged discussions within an academic setting. It covers basic skills such as establishing ground rules, active listening, framing discussions, and managing facilitation challenges. This workshop is designed specifically for an academic setting, both within and beyond the classroom. Other topics covered include First Amendment rights, faculty academic freedom, social and political inclusion, and neutrality.

Politics 365: A Deep Dive: Over the past two years IDHE researchers identified a diverse set of campuses with higher and lower than predicted voting rates and visited several of those institutions to study their campus climates for political learning and engagement. Visits from these nine campuses have led to the identification of several habits of highly engaged campuses. This workshop provides an in-depth look at the IDHE research, presents the findings, and models for implementing targeted interventions.

The Arts of Discussion-Based Teaching: This day-long workshop is designed for faculty members who want to increase and refine their discussion-based teaching skills using the most promising practices from the field of deliberative democracy. Topics covered include: establishing the foundation for productive discussions, building a learning community on the first day of class, writing the course description and syllabi language for politically charged topics, managing conflict, troubleshooting, encouraging open dialogue, and evaluating ethical dilemmas.

Academic Freedom, Free Speech, and Inclusion on Campus: This half-day or full-day workshop can be tailored for academic leaders and faculty, student affairs professionals, senior leadership, or a combination of stakeholders on campus. It includes: a primer on free speech and academic freedom as legal and professional standards, a review of our research findings on the normative values of freedom and inclusion, and a look at contemporary challenges. Participants will work with “ripped from the headlines” dilemmas with a particular focus on preventing conflict and challenges to institutional and academic autonomy.

Catalyzing Change: All campuses face a broad range of complex challenges that call for innovative and inclusive approaches to institutional change and problem solving. Many educators attend conferences or talk with colleagues, coming away with good ideas, but they do not know where to begin or how to make progress on them, particularly if they do not see themselves as holding positions of authority on campus. This day-long workshop is designed to help people on college campuses catalyze change using the best practices in community building and dialogue. It covers the key elements of collaborative governance: assessment, shared decision making, visioning, strategic planning, implementation, and reflection.

Leveraging your NSLVE Data: NSLVE data presents an exciting opportunity for campuses to launch conversations on equitable political engagement and mobility on their campus. Diverse groups of stakeholders across a campus can contribute to this effort including faculty, staff and students. This workshop includes a review of your institutions NSLVE data, including additional analysis and comparison data, a campus self-assessment, and the identification of political engagement interventions that consider political engagement as a constant effort, not just an election strategy.
