February 19-23, 2024 is UTSA’s 2nd annual Celebrate Teaching Week! Hosted by the Academy of Distinguished Teaching Scholars, celebrate the exceptional teachers that make our top tier university a place where students thrive.

Universities are essential spaces for debate, discussion and action by students and scholars address pressing global and humanitarian concerns. UTSA brings together diverse groups of students with a range of life experiences, identities, and viewpoints.

Yet, our deeply polarized political climate can make it challenging for faculty to foster constructive conversations on current events and divisive topics.

Dr. Sara DeTurk and Professor Gina Amatangelo will lead this interactive workshop on the use of “structured dialogue” in the classroom. Participants will have an opportunity to share ideas on classroom dynamics and student engagement.

UTSA’s Chief Legal Officer, Jason King, will be available to address questions on issues such as free speech on campus, compliance with SB 17, and other issues.

Seating is limited. Please RSVP to reserve your spot.
