Let’s Talk with Dr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither: How to navigate difficult dialogues on sensitive topics

Please join Kennesaw State University Center for African and African Diaspora Studies as they welcome Dr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither for their spring conversation series, “Let’s Talk with Dr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither.”

As our world engages in difficult dialogues on a national scale, the classroom often becomes a microcosm of current events. Educators who work with diverse students online or in face-to-face settings must have tools in their repertoire for engaging difficult dialogues. In this workshop, you will gain hands-on strategies to incorporate, facilitate, and manage content related to racial tensions, social identity, and current events.
