As a result of this activity, participants will be able to: 1. "Consider their identities critically and how identities are more or less keenly felt in different social contexts." 2. Recognize "how privilege operates to normalize some identities over others." 3. Appreciate "their shared identities...as well as the diversity of identities" involved in the activity (LSA Inclusive Teaching Initiative, University of Michigan, 2017).
