Have it be a conversation where students can add rules or possibly amend rules that you already have. One way to achieve this is when setting up classroom etiquette. With implementation, students must buy in. These ideas are not hard to implement if they are reinforced in the structure of the class, through the syllabus and through classroom etiquette. With this in mind, some key ideas that promote the most productive brave spaces are: “controversy with civility,” “owning intentions and impacts,” “challenge by choice,” “respect” and “no attacks” ( NASPA, 2017.

"He's still at the police station," Paul says, almost to himself. Staring at the back of Paul's head, I have the strange sensation of looking at myself from behind, of being inside my father's car again.
