    “Flipping the Script: Challenging Our Perceptions about Race” is a chance to investigate our ingrained ideas about race that serve as “scripts” influencing our daily interactions with others. This interactive workshop will use a variety of activities (including mindful journaling & discussion of film clips) to help participants to relate to their thoughts (& racial “scripts”) with greater skill.

    This workshop is Co-sponsored by TLH (Transformative Learning in the Humanities) and will be co-led by Agustin McCarthy and Melanie Oram, who are both filmmakers and Assistant Professors in the Media Arts and Technology department at BMCC.
