“You Don’t Belong Here”


Monday, April 3 (students)


12:30 – 2 p.m.
John Lewis Student Center, Atlantic Theater

Many universities message extensively around their commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion. These institutional assertions are often called into question, though, by the stories of members of the higher education community who continue to face marginalization and othering within their professional and educational spaces. This session centers around an embodied case study depicting one woman’s reflections on her experiences of higher education and her interactions with a range of systems that sent a persistent message that she didn’t belong, that she would never truly be a part of her university community. Through session activities, participants will consider how these messages manifest and why they continue to occur despite the extensive labor of individuals sincerely committed to advancing equity. This session is appropriate for faculty, students, and academic leaders. The session length is 90 minutes.

 

**The theatrical portion of this session contains strong language. It includes explicit descriptions of racist and classist behaviors and the impact of systemic inequities on individuals and communities.
