Teaching Harkness Dialogue Course Online (2020 Faculty Showcase)

In this session, we will share with the participants some strategies to adapt a face-to-face Harkness course into an entirely online Harkness course. Participants will learn strategies to facilitate dialogue and discussions among students on controversial and challenging topics that help us to address critical questions of our time: How are my identity, values, and worldviews informed by my social identities? How do I dialogue with people who belong to social groups other than my own? How do I work together with people of different faith backgrounds or different worldviews to promote social justice? We will also share examples of how we adapted face-to-face learning activities (e.g. privilege walk, web of oppression) for the online (Zoom) format.
