Often a professor will explain things using an analogy that is unlikely to resonate with certain groups   - such as this biochemical machine is easy to understand - it works just like a car engine.

Forcing a conversation of an all white but two black student class to engage in a conversation about race. Allowing the space for students to speak ignorance like, “Racist people don’t know better because that’s how they were raised.” Or “Diversity doesn’t matter in academia. What matters is the work being done and the fact is that white people are doing the work.” And then the professor says nothing and does not intervene.

Knowing people who believe this, it is a hard battle to fight. One open group conversation is not going to change it. Might as well throw people in an echo chamber online.

I remember it was a simple mention at group meeting that there was some sort of program coming up. They made it clear that if you could help out, it would be cool. Many of us jumped on.
However, it was a Science Festival type thing. It helped to bring the community together for a day.
