Increasing diversity within the academy raised consciousness on structural power relations within society. As social scientists face an increasing diverse cohort of students, questions on how to engage with structural inequalities within society as well as how to create safe spaces within the classroom to deal with sensitive issues around power, inclusion and exclusion, emerge. This session invites participants to share lessons learned from their pedagogical practice on how to engage with difficult questions in lectures, and to reflect on broader processes related to power, inequality and social justice within society.
