Date: 2014-01-14

Defying Definitions is a public conversation and community engagement program exploring identity, stereotypes and diversity. It challenges participants to reflect on how they perceive others, how they are perceived by others and what they understand about themselves.   The project utilizes the humanities (film, literature, photography, poetry, etc) to bring people together for dialogue, both online and in community settings, with the goals of breaking down stereotypes, reducing conflict, and modeling civil and meaningful discussion.
