About the session
“If These Halls Could Talk” is a film directed by Lee Mun Wah. Lee Mun Wah is an internationally renowned Chinese American documentary filmmaker, author, poet, Asian folkteller, educator, community therapist and master diversity trainer. The following is a description from his consultancy organisation's website about the film:
“During the hot summer of 2010, Director Lee Mun Wah (also the Director of The Color of Fear) brought together eleven faculty students to discuss what it is like on campuses across the country today. The students shared the frustration and anguish of trying to be understood and acknowledged on campus where the college and students are predominantly White. Their stories are starkly emotional and raw, filled with incredible tenderness, courage and pain. The issues that they challenge us to look at are equally provocative, begging to be heard and confronted.
If you have ever wondered why our students and faculty of color are leaving our campuses, you have difficulties understanding students from other cultures, if you don't know what to say or do when a conflict occurs as it relates to a diversity issue, then the film, If These Halls Could Talk, will help model for you what it will take to have conversations on diversity that are both authentic and life-changing. This film will provide a glimpse into what is still missing and what is needed if we are ever going to come together in our classrooms, on our campuses and in our communities.”
Join us for a screening of part of this brilliant film followed by a dialogue about what this brings up for us and highlights for our university.
