Abstract

This unit activity encourages students to engage in reflexivity regarding the ways intersectionality and power influence their lives and the lives of others. Utilizing strategies grounded in Augusto Boal’s Theater of the Oppressed methods, students are able to explore nuances of power and identity nonverbally and aesthetically as a way to comprehend theory on a deeper level.
