Foe’s Eye View: Engaging Students Through Perspective-Taking Activities

Date: Wednesday, August 11, 2021
Time: 3:00 PM

Where: Zoom

Students think they know how they feel about something and love to debate their position, but what happens when we put them in their opponents’ shoes? How might students respond when learning new information from their adversaries’ perspectives? Listen as our presenters share their approaches to developing students’ critical thinking, analysis, and ethical decision-making skills through perspective-taking group and individual activities. Professor experiences will focus on healthcare and business courses with broader applications and strategies for other content areas.

Presented By:

  • Gina Gray – Assistant Teaching Professor, Kinesiology, Scranton
  • James Laurie – Assistant Teaching Professor of Business, Berks

Facilitator: Lindsay Wood
