The Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity is bringing back the Tunnel of Oppression for another year. The Tunnel of Oppression is an interactive experience that examines contemporary issues of race, class, domestic violence, religion, body image, gender identification and discriminatory forms and processes. Participants are guided through a series of scenes that aim to educate and challenge them to think more deeply about these issues. At the end of the tour, there is a brief facilitated discussion, which allows the opportunity to process the experience. The entire experience lasts approximately 60 minutes per group and is a great opportunity for students to think critically about issues that impact the NC State community. It will be held on Tuesday, March 15 and Wednesday, March 16.  

The Tunnel of Oppression is also seeking volunteers: tour guides and actors. Please contact the OIED immediately if you want to participate in this annual event.
