Abstract
On April 29, 2015 a pair of shoes representing a person of the opposite gender along with stories and explanatory posters were placed in bathroom stalls in over sixty restrooms on campus.
Purpose: Raise awareness of the flaws of gendered restrooms. Create a dialog among masses and be easily reproducible.
Methods: Installation of shoes, stories and posters finished by 8:00 a.m. Facebook page and email accompanied posters and served as potential engagement and database. Photos were taken throughout the day. E-mails to faculty encouraged class dialog.
Results: Classroom discussions occurred. Encouraging notes handwritten by students found in restrooms. Most shoes disappeared by 5:00 p.m. KWCH ran a story and posted on Facebook. 135 comments appeared in support and opposition.
Conclusion: Education and dialogue occurred not only at Wichita State University, but throughout the city. While WSU generally showed support, ultimately no changes have been made.
