Dr. Yana Hashamova (Professor, Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures, College of Arts and Sciences) and Dr. Caroline T. Clark (Professor, Department of Teaching and Learning, College of Education and Human Ecology) received a $75,000 Racial Justice and Community Engagement grant from the Global Arts & Humanities Discovery Theme (2021-2023). For their project entitled “Fostering Racial Justice by Establishing a Critical Race Media Literacy Curriculum for the Metro Early College Middle and High School and Columbus City Schools: Teacher Professional Development and Student Learning,” they will partner with teachers from Metro Middle and High Early College Access School and Columbus City Schools to deepen understandings of racial stereotyping in transnational film and media through shared inquiry and will collaboratively develop critical race media literacy curricular modules aimed at middle and high school students.

Congratulations Dr. Hashamova!
