In the aftermath of the violence in Washington, D.C., on January 6, 2020, it is critical to maintain democratic institutions and that students see the value in seeking common ground with others despite partisan differences. In this session participants will learn how to present students with multiple quotes on the idea of partisanship, allowing students to discuss what resonates with them as the nation moves forward. We will also include materials that could be used in freshman seminars, lower division courses, courses in two-year colleges and even schools of education.
