The 2020 election promises to be one of the most intensely fought and politically polarized elections in our lifetime. The election campaign itself is likely to involve a reframing of the approach to socio-economic issues, particularly those that involve racial, gender, and economic justice. At the same time, our students may reflect a variety of political perspectives, and they may feel particularly passionate -- or particularly vulnerable -- during the upcoming election season. This panel will identity important and sensitive issues likely to arise during the election campaign and strategies for addressing them constructively in the classroom.
