This is Show #17 - Race and Ethnic Relations on Campus - Teaching a Race Relations Seminar - Day 1 - in which I discuss the challenges of teaching a college seminar on race relations to a group of Honor students at my university.  During Day 1, I felt unsure as an instructor on how to approach my students and I could tell that they did not feel comfortable with me as an African American professor initially. Thus, I talk about how we overcame these very subtle issues in order to begin teaching this very sensitive topic of "race relations." If you have any comments, feel free to email me at: [email protected]. I look forward to your feedback and input!
