"No Right Answers" - Claremont Colleges - 2014

Student-Teacher Miscommunication and Unconscious Bias:

If the same script with the same words are spoken by different actors, and only the gender, ethnicity, privilege, or age of the speaker changes, what do we learn about bias in the ways we listen and the subtle interpersonal dynamics in our professional interactions?

Microaggressions and Incivility in a Chilly Campus Climate:

Interactions amongst facilitators, actors, and audience members create a learning environment where the goals of the workshop focus all of us in the moment in order to discover shared next steps towards a better academic climate.

Student Cohort Collapse due to Microaggressions:

After the dramatic scenario has unfolded to the highest point of conflict, the scene ends and audience members speak directly to the actors in character to ask them about the thoughts and motivations behind their actions.
