Abstract
Abstract:The play The Niceties by Eleanor Burgess explores exchanges between white faculty member, Janine, and Black undergraduate, Zoe. The play touches on race, power, privilege, history, truth, identity, and (in)equity in higher education. Burgess uses this exchange to show how the intersectional identities of the characters influence their experiences in this specific course and in higher education more broadly. The play engages, provokes, and provides readers with enduring questions about how the individual voice is heard (or not) in higher education.
