Designed to raise awareness and promote diversity education, the Tunnel of Oppression is an interactive learning experience for all members of our WSU and Pullman community. The event takes groups on a tour through a series of rooms where different kinds of injustice and forms of oppression are acted out, presented, and/or depicted. After going through Tunnel, participants are brought into a room for discussion and small group de-brief. Attendees should anticipate spending about an hour experiencing Tunnel.
The purpose of the Tunnel of Oppression is to give people firsthand knowledge of the discrimination that occurs today. Tunnel 2013; Be The Light is intended to be eye-opening and consciousness building. The rationale is that individuals are unable to fully understand oppression and discrimination until they have experienced it first-hand. The experience should stimulate thoughts, feelings, and emotions around the issues and images presented.
