Carla Shalaby from the University of Michigan led a compelling keynote at ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú’s College of Education, Health, and Society’s fall symposium, titled “Critical conversations on the state of literacy in Ohio.” Supported by the Johnson Literacy Fund, the event welcomed around 330 high school students from 10 southwestern Ohio high schools, along with students in ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú’s teacher education programs. Shalaby’s address focused on empowering teachers to create classrooms that foster freedom and dignity for every student. Beyond the keynote, attendees enjoyed a campus tour and lunch at Western Dining Hall. The event was organized by Alli Huff, Kathy Rosenberger, Prince Johnson, Sydnie Singleton, and faculty and staff in the departments of Teaching, Curriculum, and Educational Inquiry and Educational Psychology. The event emphasized a commitment to culturally responsive literacy practices and education as a practice of freedom.
