Five professors at the University of Arizona have launched a virtual reality project to show what it’s like to experience anti-black racism, providing yet another tool to help push academia’s social narratives.
Funded with a $50,000 grant from the state university, the researchers aim to create settings, such as department meetings and classrooms, where participants wearing virtual reality headsets can see what it’s like to be black – or at least what it’s like in the version of reality created by the authors.
