Yet, our research has shown that using structured, student-centered discussion strategies alleviates many of these worries. Specifically, we find that:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Structures reinforce discussion norms by, for example, requiring times where students must engage in active listening or charitable retelling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Structures require students to read and learn content for the purpose of discussing\u2013reinforcing the content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discussion becomes more equitable with structure. The designs result in near equal participation in the discussion and normalize disagreement. Students become more comfortable sharing their views.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students report that they participate more when there is structure to the discussion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students report that they like student centered discussion and feel good about the contributions they&nbsp;make.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Last, using these structures creates a classroom in which students must share in the responsibility for giving and responding to the reasons generated by their peers. This is an important democratic skill. It also means that teachers become facilitators and not as involved in the discussion\u2013this provides some protection from those who might challenge what teachers say in the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"ncst-labeled-section wp-block-ncst-featured-content ncst-featured-content is-card-style layout-three-column\">\n  <div class=\"ncst-labeled-section__background\">\n    <div class=\"ncst-labeled-section__container\">\n               <div class=\"ncst-labeled-section__header\">\n                      <h2 class=\"ncst-labeled-section__heading\">Recent publications and press<\/h2>\n                            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"ncst-labeled-section__content\">\n        \n<div class=\"wp-block-ncst-featured-content\"><a\n    class=\"ncst-content-card wp-block-ncst-content-card with-image with-cta\"\n    href=\"https:\/\/ced.ncsu.edu\/news\/2026\/02\/12\/connections-built-through-nc-ace-interdisciplinary-research-hub-expands-reach-of-dining-with-democracy-event\/\"\n    data-ua-cat=\"Content Card\"\n    data-ua-action=\"Content Card Click\"\n    data-ua-label=https:\/\/ced.ncsu.edu\/news\/2026\/02\/12\/connections-built-through-nc-ace-interdisciplinary-research-hub-expands-reach-of-dining-with-democracy-event\/\n  >\n  \n\n          <div class=\"content-card__image-container\">\n        <div class=\"content-card__image-background\">\n          <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" \n            class=\"content-card__image wp-image-212\" \n            alt=\"\" \n            src=\"https:\/\/sites.ced.ncsu.edu\/wolfden\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/02\/Dining-with-Democracy.png\" \n            style=\"aspect-ratio: 16\/9;
