This book aims to answer the question, “In what ways can we create a campus atmosphere where academics engage with controversial material and have civil conversations about differing perspectives?” Chapters include tips for how to navigate issues that may impact media professionals and instructors teaching these developing professionals.

Tough topics are inescapable for journalism and mass communication academics. If it’s in the news, journalism and mass communication instructors have to discuss it in class. In Testing Tolerance, Candi Carter Olson and Tracy Everbach of the AEJMC Commission on the Status of Women bring together a broad range of perspectives, from graduate students to deans, in conversation about ways to address tough topics in and out of the university classroom.

Helping instructors navigate today’s toughest topics through discussions of the issues and pertinent terminology, this book provides hands-on exercises and practical advice applicable across student and instructor levels and disciplines. Readers will gain an understanding of the issues and acquire tools to address these topics in sensitive, yet forthright, ways.

The AEJMC Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) encourages diverse research and conference programming on the status of women in journalism and mass communication education. Candi Carter Olson is assistant professor at Utah State University. Tracy Everbach is professor of journalism in the Mayborn School of Journalism at the University of North Texas.
