You are the instructor for an undergraduate course. During an in- class discussion, John, a white student, says "Well, I've done two summer internships in Ghana, so I know the culture pretty well. Everything is about who you know there, or, I guess, who you pay." Raisso, a black international student responds by saying "I find that really offensive. That's a really broad generalization about African society." Questions What are some of the barriers Raisso might have to consider before speaking up? What impacts might this experience have for Raisso? For John? What can you do, as the instructor, to support students who speak up from a marginalized perspective? What steps can we take in our classrooms and courses to ensure a space for dialogue that is safe and respectful for all students
