This innovative experience will pair leading research with an engaging applied theatre program—providing participants with an opportunity to increase their knowledge and awareness of how bias may occur in everyday settings, as well as to practice effective conversational strategies for responding to bias.

 

Leading this workshop is the collaborative effort of the University of New Hampshire's PowerPlay Interactive Development and Incluxion Works. This three-hour workshop will be broken into two sections exploring interactive activities in which participants will gain insight into their own social biases and how to better manage and respond to situations. Participants will have the opportunity to alter scenarios, and learn to understand how different experiences can impact bias in academic settings.

Anyone interested in deepening their knowledge of social identity, raising their level of awareness regarding bias, or wanting to learn how to better navigate conversations in their everyday lives is encouraged to participate. The workshop is free and open to the entire community.
