Difficult Subjects: K-12 Teaching Institute (Hosted by The Ohio State University's Global Arts + Humanities Discovery Theme)
Join us for an information session! Led by Professor Hasan K. Jeffries, the Difficult Subjects Institute program brings together elementary, middle, and high school teachers from Central Ohio for an exploration of multidisciplinary approaches to understanding and teaching difficult subjects in America's past and present. The program offers multiple options for engagement beginning with the choice of participating in one of three tracks (American Slavery; Climate Justice; Immigration). Each track runs from January to June and will be conducted using a hybrid format with sessions taking place once a month on Saturday mornings from 9 am to 12 pm. Educators who complete the program have the option to enroll in a summer graduate course in the College of Education aimed at deepening their research inquiry.
