Race in the Classroom: The Multiplicity of Experience

Race in the Classroom features five vignettes that depict moments in college courses when the race or culture of participants, a race-related topic, or racial dynamics become a major factor in teaching and learning. Each vignette is based on an actual classroom incident, including a classroom argument over affirmative action, a student uncomfortable being chosen as a spokesperson for her race, and quiet Asian student whom the instructor hesitates to engage. These scenes do not offer specific answers, but are intended to spark discussion on these important and difficult issues. For more videos on teaching, visit http://bokcenter.harvard.edu
