The Identities Project: "Midwest Nice"
date_rangeFeb 25access_time6:00 pm

Midwestern nice; the phenomenon in which folks in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and surrounding areas are unusually courteous, reserved, mild-mannered, and passive-aggressive. You’ve heard the jokes, and probably noticed it in your own behaviors, or the behaviors around you. Is it good to live up to the stereotype, or does it cause harm? How do you advocate for yourself or call out inappropriate behaviors when everyone around is just too nice? Join our panel as they discuss the ups and downs of experiencing and practicing midwestern nice in their personal and professional lives, and how it may or may not be appropriate.
