The purpose of this roundtable is to discuss traditional as well as current trends in urban affairs pedagogy given the racially tense climate across the U.S. This discussion seeks to bring together faculty, students, and practitioners from across the gamut of urban affairs fields (public policy, political science, sociology, social work, psychology, etc.) to share and explore strategies for engaging a diverse student body in candid race-related discussions. Various topics will be discussed, including the appropriate mixture of theory and real-world application acceptable in a classroom setting.
