Enacting Inequity – Game and Reflection

When we speak about equity, diversity and social justice in the classroom we often think about promoting equal access to marginalized members of different social categories such as race, class, gender or (dis)ability. This helps us to see who is systematically excluded and to develop strategies for their support. But it can also draw attention away from the institutional structures and social practices that create these exclusionary effects in the first place: What are the conditions under which having a certain disability or a certain class background creates disadvantages?

This resource is designed to offer preservice teachers the chance to experience and discuss how individual differences lead to different outcomes under the conditions of a specific scenario. It suggests the need for them to analyze the institutional conditions that produce inequity and to question beliefs about difference as a pre-social and pre-institutional feature of individuals.
