Tunnel of Oppression - TODAY
|
|
The Tunnel of Oppression (TOP) will be held Monday, Feb. 27 from 1-6 p.m. in the EUC Cone Ballroom. The program does not take five hours, as tours rotate at different times through the Tunnel on an ongoing basis. Join us at any time during tour hours.
TOP is an interactive event that takes place on a number of college campuses each year in order to highlight contemporary issues of oppression. The event originated as a diversity program in 1993 at Western Illinois University and has since expanded nationwide, introducing students to concepts such as power, privilege, and oppression.
Tunnel of Oppression participants will walk through various scenes that focus on a particular social justice issue with an assigned tour guide. While the situations encountered may make some uncomfortable, the Tunnel is designed to engage emotions and make participants think critically about what is experienced in the room. The scenes that take place in the Tunnel are not meant to be representative of all people who have experienced oppression. Instead, they are intended to portray one example of how oppression may be experienced.
If you have any questions, please contact Daniel Wiggins (djwiggi2@uncg.edu) or Li Miles (admiles@uncg.edu).
