Resources for Dialogue

These are some of the resources for classroom dialogue that I have created over the past several years. I update this page regularly with new resources, so bookmark it and check back!

Some of these resources are from my work at the University of Texas at Austin as Program Coordinator of Difficult Dialogues with the Humanities Institute and as Dialogue Facilitation Training Coordinator with the Plan II Honors peer mentorship program. Some are from my work as a postdoctoral fellow with the Andrea Mitchell Center for the Study of Democracy + the SNF Paideia Program at the University of Pennsylvania. You are welcome to use, adapt, or take inspiration from these materials!
