This workshop is part of ISA's Teaching Difficult or Controversial Topics in the International Affairs Classroom Series. Discussing difficult topics can feel like walking in a forest. It's easy to get lost, panic, and emerge no better than when we entered. Argument visualization provides the map and compass needed to navigate this terrain safely. By displaying the structure of arguments—clarifying the claims and their connections—argument maps are a promising tool to reduce polarization, enhance dialogue, and improve critical thinking by fostering clear analysis and evidence evaluation. This workshop introduces the fundamentals of argument mapping and demonstrates how instructors can integrate this powerful tool to help students disagree better. PRESENTER: Simon Cullen (Carnegie Mellon), Dave Dettman (The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point), and Dona Warren (The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point).
