C'est La Vie! The Game of Social Life: Using an Intersectionality Approach to Teach About Privilege and Structural Inequality
Bramesfeld, Kosha D.; Good, Arla
Teaching of Psychology, v43 n4 p294-304 Oct 2016
In this article, we present the results of two studies that evaluated an experiential intersectionality awareness activity, "C'est La Vie: The Game of Social Life." For Study 1 (N = 55), we content analyzed students' short answer responses about inequality written before and after playing "C'est La Vie." Study 2 compared a "C'est La Vie" treatment group (N = 179) to a lecture-as-usual control condition (N = 64). Across both studies, playing "C'est La Vie" was associated with an expanded awareness of privilege and structural inequality. Follow-up analyses with a subset of Study 2 control participants (N = 27) established that participants who were originally in the control group experienced gains in awareness of privilege and structural inequality (relative to pretest and the lecture-as-usual) only after being exposed to "C'est La Vie." The results are interpreted within the context of an intersectionality framework.
