This practice-based experiential learning approach utilizes the discipline of anthropology to foster a more nuanced understanding of social and racial inequalities with the objective of promoting advocacy work among student learners in an undergraduate introduction to cultural anthropology course. The purpose of this strategy is for students to move beyond the familiar and confront experiences of difference with a critical lens to arrive at an informed and empowered position to carry out important social and racial advocacy work. Outlined in this article is a discipline-centric pedagogical approach and details of two experiential learning experiences: a semester-long visual community interviewing project and an immersive cultural field experience to Costa Rica.
