Student Cohort Collapse due to Microaggressions: After the dramatic scenario has unfolded to the highest point of conflict, the scene ends and audience members speak directly to the actors in character to ask them about the thoughts and motivations behind their actions.

Graduate Student Instructor Training for Inclusive Classroom Teaching: Training content for BIT workshops are always tailored to address the unique needs of each audience.
