"These Kids" and Other Coded Conversations

Description:

How often have you heard adults talk about “these kids”, as in “that would never work for these kids” or “these kids don’t know how to behave”? What mindsets hide behind these coded comments, and how can we engage productively? In this campfire session, participants will define their own terms of engagement for addressing coded language, and discuss how tools and frameworks can be used in tough conversations. We’re not experts but we feel strongly that this conversation has a place at SXSWEdu.
