Professors Jenny Kim, Rachel Timm, and Alexandra Lombardi presented a workshop titled Respectful Risk-Taking: Building Foundations for Social Justice Dialogue through Habits and Micro-Assertions.

“Dialogue in pursuit of social justice can feel fraught. Legal writing professors, though not always teaching directly on social justice topics, are uniquely positioned to help students develop habits that support respectful, constructive dialogue in the classroom and beyond. This presentation introduces “respectful risk-taking” as a framework to help students recognize their cultural lens, appreciate diverse perspectives, and view difference as an opportunity for collaboration. The presentation will also recommend and provide examples of micro-assertions—subtle but intentional practices that invite and encourage marginalized voices to join the dialogue.”
