Join Dr. Koritha Mitchell for a workshop on ethical teaching entitled Violence in U.S. Education: Approaches & Practices.  Dr. Koritha Mitchell is a literary historian, cultural critic, and associate professor of English at Ohio State University and is author of Living with Lynching: African American Lynching Plays, Performance, and Citizenship.  Too often, instructors consider the role of violence in our society only when something ugly happens.  This workshop addresses the purpose of all forms of violence (from hate speech to physical attacks) and encourages proactive strategies for creating learning environments.  It will emphasize philosophical approaches teachers can adopt and offer concrete practices that put theory into motion.  Register here for the workshop: https://bit.ly/EthicalTeaching
