Professor Kanter's Community Engaged Scholarship course (CES), Theater for Social Change (TRDA 3131W), focuses on the efficacy of using the arts to address issues within our society. Through their theater knowledge and service to local organizations, students examine produced works of representative 20th and 21st century playwrights, which address violence against women, gender inequality, homophobia, racism, trauma of war, Nativism, religious discrimination, and other injustices that continue to impact our society.

Students, through their service with GW's Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences, Law School, and School of Medicine & Health Sciences (SMHS), were able to enhance the techniques used by the playwrights by performing mock depositions, medical screenings, patient-provider therapy scenarios, and so forth.
