LTA Connect: Supporting students whilst teaching sensitive content in class
The role of an educator in HE is important in tackling challenging subjects because students can have an incorrect, biased or discriminatory view on something due to not fully understanding the topic, or they might be fearful of asking in case they upset someone. Student responses, diffusing conflict and confronting biased, offensive remarks are important when teaching sensitive topics and each student must be considered as an individual when teaching this topic.

Session Outline
This presentation will help lecturers recognise the ways in which they can support all students in class – often without the student realising they are being supported. Looking specifically at Nazi persecution of Jewish people and other ‘undesirables’ in 1930s Germany, this presentation will consider the best ways in which to support students in class who might have an ASN, or be part of the LGBTQ community.

Tracy Kennedy
I currently teach history at FE and HNC level at Inverness College UHI. I also teach a third-year degree drama module. I have worked at the college for six years, and in that time, have achieved my TQFE and Fellowship of the HEA.
I live in Inverness with my husband and dog. I have two grown up sons who are both in Edinburgh – one working for Edinburgh University and the other currently completing a PhD with Edinburgh University. I also have a teenage stepson who lives in Manchester with his mum.
In my spare time I enjoy dressmaking, reading, listening to music and getting out for walks.
