About the seminar
The seminar spotlights one of the Class of 2021 Anisfield-Wolf Book Award winners. The seminar emphasizes dialogue and creates space for collaborative discussion of strategies for using Anisfield-Wolf texts in teaching, educational outreach and community engagement. In addition to discussing how these texts engage race/ethnicity and history, seminar participants also will examine how we teach and have productive dialogue about our history and complex social issues.
Seminar meetings will take place for several hours each day, at a time determined by participants, with ample time for reflection, community-building and intellectual exchange.
