Project Description:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) defines cultural humility as a lifelong process of self-reflection and self-critique whereby the individual not only learns about another’s culture, but one starts with an examination of her/his own beliefs and cultural identities. The concept has become increasingly important for those who work in universities to help students become more self-reflexive about how their beliefs, norms, and habits color their thought processes and communication with other people – in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or geographic location – in any cultural context and in any part of the world. The three guiding principles towards cultural humility are:
– Evaluating and acknowledging the limitations of our own cultural limitations and perspectives.
– Recognizing and changing power imbalances where none ought to exist.
– Accepting that developing cultural understanding is a lifelong commitment to self-evaluation and self-critique
Deliverable:
The team will make an immersive interactive experience that will be used for all future orientation sessions for incoming students to the Dietrich School.
Target Audience:
Primary audience – incoming freshman.
Secondary audience – all undergrad and graduate students.
Type: Game | Delivery
