Diana Garlough, Ed. D., Ohio Northern University assistant professor of education, had a proposal accepted to deliver a presentation at the World Literacy Summit in Oxford, England, on March 27. Garlough is chair of the Department of Education and the accreditation coordinator for teacher education at ONU.

Her presentation involves “Moving the race/culture discussion forward in classrooms” and uses a framework meant to promote racial healing through honesty, empathy, advocacy and action. “The framework I will present is one means of helping teachers feel comfortable talking about race in classrooms,” Garlough explained in her proposal.
