"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?

Graduate Student Instructor Training for Inclusive Classroom Teaching:

Training content for BIT workshops are always tailored to address the unique needs of each audience. For example, Graduate Student Instructors — despite being some of the most diverse faculty members on campus — are often not included or considered in planning faculty trainings. Their unique concerns are, as a result, overlooked. BIT would provide content that directly addresses this particular issue.

"Cheese Sticks" - UCB Haas School of Business - 2018

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.
