Many things in life bring uncertainty, with this election year and related concerns adding to that. The weight of uncertainty causes stress and can be exhausting. In the face of that stress, the semester marches on, making it challenging to show up for students. As educators and in our other roles, it matters how we manage these challenges.To help you show up for students, ATL will host a virtual conversation about coping with uncertainty and navigating challenging classroom interactions, especially during this election season.On November 8th, Dr. Courtney Wright, Associate Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Tennessee - Knoxville, will facilitate discussion around uncertainty and help us gain strategies for showing up for students in what is sure to be a stressful time for everyone.Courtney has over 18 years of experience in teaching and learning, interpersonal communication, and conflict resolution. Her teaching, research, and consulting activities focus on enhancing capacities to manage conflict, engage in difficult dialogues, and communicate across differences to advance inclusion, diversity, equity and access. Courtney is an award-winning educator and researcher whose work has appeared in academic journals, edited books, and Inside Higher Ed. Her professional training and certification areas include intergroup dialogue, civil/family mediation, ombuds practice, diversity education facilitation, intercultural development, and secondary education.Date: Friday, November 8, 2024Time: Noon - 1:15pmLocation: ZoomRegister HereMore Information
