Learning Together: A Format for Reflective Turn-Based Sharing in Physics

Here, we present a simple, low-cost format for structured speaking and listening on historical, cultural, and equity-related topics within a physics institute. In this article, we describe how we run hour-long Learning Together sessions, including what you need, how to set expectations (this is not a debate, nor is it open discussion), and practical facilitation moves that help participants reflect safely on unfamiliar and sometimes difficult material. We aim to offer a replicable recipe that instructors and departments can adapt to their own contexts.
