Conflict in Multiculturalism Classes: Too Much Heat or Too Little?
Meacham, Jack
Liberal Education, v81 n4 p24-29 Fall 1995
The issues that arise in a college course on multiculturalism can touch students very personally and may be a first opportunity for many students to talk face-to-face about important social issues. Anticipating when students may become defensive, angry, hurt, or when conflict might erupt will help faculty know when to lower or raise the temperature in the classroom. (MSE)
