Bias Awareness and Bystander Training (Afternoon Session)

PowerPlay Interactive Development utilizes professional actors and Applied Theatre techniques to address issues around personal, professional, and institutional development. We use Interactive Theatre as a method to spark dialogue about institutional climate and culture and improve performance in the workplace.

PowerPlay has created performance and training models for a diverse group of clients from all over the country. Our safe, dynamic method of interactive training helps participants engage in challenging conversations around bias, harassment, communication, collaboration, and academic leadership.

The facilitated session allows participants to identify incidents of bias and then explore different ways to address those issues in a positive and constructive way.

The session will be facilitated by Dr. Stephanie Goodwin, Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology and alumnae of the HERS Institute.
