Recording lectures on psychedelics—why does it matter? Join us for a candid conversation as we navigate the challenges of teaching controversial subjects in today’s classrooms. I share my firsthand experiences and concerns about the implications of students recording sensitive discussions, and we scrutinize the shifting societal norms that have made open debate increasingly difficult. With insights from Dr. Lichter, we emphasize the essential role of argumentation in education and the need for a supportive educator community to reclaim open and meaningful classroom dialogues.
