Experience the Tunnel of Oppression

The Office of Diversity and Inclusion invites you to experience the Tunnel of Oppression from 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 16-17, on the RSC third floor. The Tunnel of Oppression is a multisensory exhibition of some of the most difficult and complex issues we face today. The experience will demonstrate the concepts of privilege, power and reality of hate crimes, and covert and open acts of oppression as our community experiences them.

Participants are guided through a series of scenes that aim to educate and challenge them to think more deeply about issues of oppression. Some topics are racism, sexism, homophobia, body image, classism, xenophobia, transphobia and ableism.

The tour of the tunnel will be followed by a discussion facilitated by professional staff from the Counseling Center. For more information, contact the Office of Diversity and Inclusion at 978-3034 or http://www.wichita.edu/odi
