The University of Michigan’s Edward Ginsberg Center and the Center for Research on Learning and Teaching offer a series of guides around the election, including “After Election 2020: Moving from Reaction to Action.”

James Madison University has put out a guide to help faculty, staff, and students facilitate difficult election conversations.

The University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Teaching and Learning offers advice and resources on responding to the election. And Penn’s SNF Paideia program, which focuses on civic dialogue in undergraduate education, recently hosted a webinar called “Can We Talk? Civil Dialogue for Troubled Times.”
