Documentary. MTV’s “White People”

What does it mean to be white? MTV’s ‘White People’ is a groundbreaking documentary on race that aims to answer that question from the viewpoint of young white people living in America today. The film follows Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and filmmaker, Jose Antonio Vargas, as he travels across the country to get this complicated conversation started. ‘White People’ asks what’s fair when it comes to affirmative action, if colorblindness is a good thing, what privilege really means, and what it’s like to become the “white minority” in your neighborhood.

Shifting Boundaries

Shifting Boundaries is intended to reduce peer and dating violence and sexual harassment by students in middle schools. The program includes six classroom sessions and a school-wide component. An experimental study found that the program had many large and statistically significant positive impacts on (decreases in) violence victimization and perpetration in peer and dating relationships, but it also found increases in total violence victimization and perpetration in peer relationships in schools where only the school-wide component was implemented.
