Journal of Free Black Thought | Ilana Redstone, Ellie Avishai, Christina LaRose
Congratulations to FAIR Harvard Alumni+’s very own Membership Director, Ellie Avishai (EdLD ‘18), for this spotlight piece. Ellie is part of the ambitious team behind The Mill Center, an important new project “dedicated to teaching the skills needed to inspire intellectual risk-taking, expand empathy, and deepen conversations in educational settings.”
“The Mill Center’s goal is to teach the mindset, skills, and ground rules needed to broaden conversations and expand knowledge.“ The Center’s inaugural Teacher Institute for High School Educators will launch in the fall of 2022. The Teacher Institute will “bring together teachers from across the U.S. to collaborate on the design of new classroom resources that promote open inquiry and viewpoint diversity.”
