The Deliberative Pedagogy (DeeP) Faculty Collaborative consists of 15 faculty from Davidson College and five other Associated Colleges of the South institutions who are committed to learning and implementing new ways to improve and deepen the quality of their class discussions. Throughout the 2021-22 academic year, these faculty, who come from a wide array of disciplines, studied and discussed different deliberative pedagogy methods, shared their ideas and questions with one another, and worked to embed deliberation in their classrooms. In this special blog series, members of the Collaborative describe and reflect on their experiences developing and teaching their deliberation-involved courses.
Check out Dr. Vander Poppen’s video blog post below about about how he integrated deliberation into his classics course on When in Rome: Exploring Identity and Empire at Rollins College through both low-stakes mini-debates and a large-scale deliberative simulation of a major land distribution crisis in Ancient Rome.
