Diversity Panel at the Alexander Technique World Congress, Chicago 2018

Diversity Panel at the Alexander Technique World Congress, Chicago 2018

The Alexander Technique (AT) Diversity Coalition[1] organized this panel to foster critical dialogue around racial equity and other diversity issues to strengthen the AT community. The panel aimed to increase awareness of the ways diverse identities in terms of gender, sexuality, race, age, ability, status, and so on — of teachers and current and potential students — impact the use of the self and interactions in the AT community. Panelists shared experiences, ideas, strategies and resources for AT teachers to take back to their practices, teacher training programs, and professional organizations to support sharing AT with diverse communities.
