The Race Awareness Project
(20.01.2012)
The Race Awareness Project™ brings together art, technology, and education to get people talking about race in an entirely new way. We are designing activities, games, books, and applications for all ages. Our goal is to make widespread some of the fascinating anthropological, historical, psychological and sociological insights about race – how race developed, how race is historically changing, and how race affects our everyday lives as it intersects with other categories of identity such as ethnicity, nationality, religion, and gender. The Race Awareness Project is a joint venture between (1) Harvard University cultural anthropologist and Director of Cambridge Diversity Consulting, Dr. Michael D. Baran (www.cambridgediversity.com) and (2) award winning children’s interactive producer and Director of Playtime Interactive, Michael Handelman (www.playtimeinteractive.com). By teaching about race in an innovative and engaging way, we are working towards promoting respect, understanding and empathy for all people. More information can be found here.
