Abstract

This project explored embedding simulated person (SP) methodology aligned with gender identity, discrimination and human rights. Strategies such as recognizing a human rights issues, demonstrating active listening, and communicating empathy were brought to life during these in-class simulations. This project provided opportunities for students to process their reactions and practice in a guided environment.
