“Based on SEL programming from Dr. Pamela Hayes and the HaHaSo acronym, in this project students will create a living resource to address and skill-build around challenges of discrimination. Mixed-methods teaching driven by SEL learning outcomes will connect students to individuals who have overcome challenges of discrimination. Students will gather primary source materials through in-person interviews and then archive these in an accessible database to be used for further research and increased audiences. By the completion of the grant, direct participants will have engaged in an ethical human-driven research project that preserves the stories of diverse community members.”
