Creating a Classroom Environment in Which Civil Discourse Can Thrive
Supported by an Associated Colleges of the South collaboration grant between University of Richmond and Washington and Lee University, this guide gives instructors a plug-and-play, two-week sequence with concrete prompts, timings, and rubrics that measurably builds trust, belonging, and shared norms. The intended result: creating an environment in which faculty and students can meaningfully engage in civil discourse. The guide blends evidence-based face-to-face and digital strategies (e.g., collaborative annotation, polling, structured controversy) so courses of any size or modality can practice listening, perspective-taking, and respectful, evidence-driven dialogue from day one.
