Description: Try to Love the Questions by Lara Schwartz Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description An essential guide to dialogue in the college classroom and beyond.Try to Love the Questions gives college students a framework for understanding and practicing dialogue across difference in and out of the classroom. This invaluable guide explores the challenges facing students as they prepare to listen, speak, and learn in a college community and encourages students and faculty alike to consider inclusive, respectful communication as a skill-not as a limitation on freedom.Among the most common challenges on college campuses today is figuring out how to navigate our politically charged culture and engage productively with opposing viewpoints. Lara Schwartz introduces the fundamental principles of free expression, academic freedom, and academic dialogue, showing how open expression is the engine of social progress, scholarship, and inclusion. She sheds light on the rules and norms that govern campus discourse-such as the First Amendment, campus expression policies, and academic standards-and encourages students to adopt a mindset of inquiry that embraces uncertainty and a love of questions.Empowering students, scholars, and instructors to listen generously, explore questions with integrity, and communicate to be understood, Try to Love the Questions includes writing exercises and discussion questions in every chapter, making it an indispensable resource for anyone interested in practicing good-faith dialogue.Lara Hope Schwartz provides us with an accessible, smart, and good-humored resource that weve long needed in college classrooms. She connects the skills of listening, critiquing, and generous thinking with the ways in which we learn and flourish in college and helps students to navigate the complex social and intellectual landscape of higher education. Try to Love the Questions is a guide to rich thinking, meaningful engagement, and deeper, more intentional learning.- Kevin M. Gannon, author of Radical Hope: A Teaching ManifestoTry to Love the Questions offers a practical assessment of the challenges to open dialogue on college campuses today and suggests a clear and pragmatic approach to overcoming them. Contrary to common analyses that depict students as whiny, brittle, or self-indulgent, Schwartz correctly portrays them as capable, active, and needing and deserving of opportunities to learn how to use their voices. -Sigal R.
