Teaching Controversial Issues in the College Classroom In-Person

The issue of ideological bias in American higher education has garnered increased attention in recent years, with critics across the political spectrum challenging the right of college professors to discuss controversial public policy issues with their classes. This session will trace the history and conception of academic freedom in America's universities and present four common stances with regard to presenting controversial material and subjects. Participants will have a chance to discuss several recent case studies in small groups.
