FACTUALITY: FACTUALITY is a facilitated dialogue, crash course, and board game, all in one, that simulates structural inequality, in America. FACTUALITY’s board game delivery creates a comfortable environment for participants to engage in meaningful dialogue regarding the origins of discrimination and its legacy. Participants will simulate, discuss, and unpack the structural limitations and advantages that coincide with various intersecting character identities. There are male and female characters, LGBTQ characters, Muslim and Jewish characters, and a character with a disability. Each character encounters a series of fact based obstacles based on the intersection of their race, class, gender, faith, sexual orientation, and ability.
Deeper than the facts - Are we asking the right questions?How are the children and how do we know? What does ‘Everything old is new again’ mean in the context of education during our current situation? How do we approach this new normal? At a time when there are more questions than answers it will be vital to center students, particularly those from marginalized populations, and to focus on the essential questions.
