Expanding Transformative Learning Contexts

The critically acclaimed 2017 psychological thriller Get Out introduced the world to the cultural phenomenon known as the Sunken Place. What exactly is it? How do students get there? Through interactive film analysis, participants will explore the nuances of the Sunken Place as it applies to students – especially those who identify as first generation or minority. Interwoven throughout the collaborative discussion, will be an introduction to the foundational core of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion’s student success initiatives. Specifically, how intentionally designed curricular, social, and mentor programming create spaces for students to undergo transformative learning experiences.
