October 21st, 2020 | RESEARCH

Pull up a chair to learn about Middle Ground, a facilitated exhibition project that stands at the intersection of social science, social justice, place-making and research on informal learning. We’ll describe the exhibition’s content of bias and stereotyping, facilitation by formerly incarcerated community members, and research results on the impact of facilitation. Presentation made by Hsin-Yi Chien, Robert Dixon, Josh Gutwill and Louie Hammonds, Sr.
