How to read the room (and survive the zombie apocalypse)

Can you trust your read of the room? The zombie apocalypse has reached MIT. Bunkers across campus are full but there are rumblings of one last refuge inside the Media Lab. Now comes the harder part: figuring out what's actually going on around you. Who's in charge? Who can you trust? What feels off? How much of what you're noticing is a signal...versus a story you've already started telling yourself? Put your room reading instincts to the test through a 50 min workshop: scan the scene, make the call, question your assumptions and adapt when the story changes. You can't read minds but you can get better at noticing more, assuming less and updating your read. In-person only-zombies don't do hybrid. The bunker can only hold so many and entry requires completing this form. Bunker spots are first come, first served and you must be able to stay for the entire session. Please allow 48 hours for an email confirmation. Communications are... spotty. Date: Tuesday, September 29 Time: 12pm - 12:50pm Location: Media Lab (75 Amherst St., E-14), Room 240 Lunch provided for attendees. Questions, concerns, or survival-related inquires: please email Alice Gold, Instructional Designer & Program Manager for realtalk@MIT, MIT Center for Constructive Communication ([email protected]).
