Handling Hurt

When we’ve been excluded, or treated like an outsider, it always hurts, whether you are someone who is Muslim, lgbtq+, Latinx, African American, woman – or white religious conservative. Speaking from your own experience of exclusion, or excluding another person, how have you seen that pain dealt with in a healing way or in a harming, damaging way.

Tell, Don’t Ask!

These days everybody knows how to talk like an expert, especially in higher education

Lots of declarative sentences

Opinions stated as facts

Have anyone ever used a certain style of speaking as a “power move” against you? Have you ever used it “against” someone else?

What went well?

Seems like so much of the news is bad.

Did you have a moment of success?

Where you able to engage in dialogue with someone from a very different point of view?

Did you have an insight from listening?
