Feeling Invisible: A journey of self-discovery through Ellison's "Invisible Man" for ages 12-15 ~ with Dr. Sean Bogle

Exploring themes of racism, identity, and truth, Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man brings readers on a journey of invisibility and self-discovery that poses a harsh critique of American society. In this workshop, students will be guided through how discrimination shaped the narrator's world views. Instructor, Dr. Sean Bogle, will also facilitate a safe space in which students will be encouraged to reflect on societal norms and their own lived experiences. Through collective conversations, students will leave this workshop empowered to identify ways to create a more equitable society.
