Faculty, staff, and students hold vastly different perspectives on AI in education—from enthusiastic adoption to deep skepticism. This session explores practical strategies for creating psychologically safe environments where diverse stakeholders can discuss AI openly, address concerns authentically, and collaboratively develop policies and practices. Participants will learn facilitation techniques, conversation frameworks, and institutional approaches that move beyond polarization to productive dialogue. Whether you're leading a department meeting, faculty development session, or campus-wide initiative, you'll gain tools to navigate resistance, honor legitimate concerns, and build shared understanding around AI's role in teaching and learning.#productive-dialogue #faculty-development #change-management
