Brave or Safe Spaces?

Are we shielding ourselves from uncomfortable moments? How do we ensure that our discussions are productive and challenging? What does it mean to create a safe space and what is the importance of their existence on campus and in our lives?

In this Tackling Tough Topics Together, facilitated by Sarah Stanlick, Ph.D. Director, Lehigh University Center for Community Engagement and Professor of Practice, Sociology and Anthropology, we will discuss the assumptions and misconceptions around brave spaces and safe spaces. During this discussion, we will delve into transformative experiences, trigger warnings, intentional use of space and guidelines, and how we can use different modes of discussion to foster deeper dialogue and individual growth.
