In looking forward to the important issues of this coming decade, we need only turn to the events of the past year for a sense of what is at stake for theatre, performance, and performance pedagogy. Last year, student activists protested racism on college and university campuses across the United States. At Yale, students protested the hostile racial climate on campus following several incidents, including a professor's dismissal of concerns about racist Halloween costumes, numerous swastika graffiti, and the explicit exclusion of black women from fraternity events. At the University of Missouri, the student group Concerned Student 1950—named for the year the first black students were admitted to the university—called for the resignation of university president, Tim Wolfe, citing the administration's inaction in the face of numerous racist incidents on campus. At Ithaca College, Claremont McKenna University, the University of Kansas, and many other colleges and universities across the United States, students held rallies, performed die-ins, and signed petitions in support of students at the University of Missouri and Yale and to call attention to inequality on their own campuses. Set against the backdrop of Ferguson and an increased awareness of institutionalized violence against black and brown bodies, these events remind us that colleges and universities have always been sites where racial discrimination and inequality have been both perpetuated and protested.

校园抗议、选角和制度化暴力：戏剧系在高等教育机构中的独特作用

在展望未来十年的重要问题时，我们只需要回顾过去一年的事件，就可以了解戏剧、表演和表演教学法的利害关系。去年，学生活动人士在美国各地的大学校园内抗议种族主义。在耶鲁大学，学生们在发生几起事件后抗议校园内的敌对种族气氛，其中包括一位教授对种族主义万圣节服装的担忧、大量的纳粹标志涂鸦以及明确将黑人女性排除在兄弟会活动之外。在密苏里大学，学生团体 1950 年关注学生——以第一批黑人学生被大学录取的那一年命名——呼吁大学校长蒂姆·沃尔夫（Tim Wolfe）辞职，理由是政府“ 面对校园内众多种族主义事件的不作为。在伊萨卡学院、克莱蒙麦肯纳大学、堪萨斯大学和美国的许多其他学院和大学，学生们举行集会、进行模范活动并签署请愿书，以支持密苏里大学和耶鲁大学的学生，并致电关注自己校园的不平等。在弗格森的背景下，以及人们对针对黑人和棕色身体的制度化暴力的认识不断提高，这些事件提醒我们，学院和大学一直是种族歧视和不平等现象长期存在和抗议的场所。学生们举行了集会，进行了游行，并签署了请愿书，以支持密苏里大学和耶鲁大学的学生，并呼吁关注他们自己校园中的不平等现象。在弗格森的背景下，以及人们对针对黑人和棕色身体的制度化暴力的认识不断提高，这些事件提醒我们，学院和大学一直是种族歧视和不平等现象长期存在和抗议的场所。学生们举行了集会，进行了游行，并签署了请愿书，以支持密苏里大学和耶鲁大学的学生，并呼吁关注他们自己校园中的不平等现象。在弗格森的背景下，以及人们对针对黑人和棕色身体的制度化暴力的认识不断提高，这些事件提醒我们，学院和大学一直是种族歧视和不平等现象长期存在和抗议的场所。
