The panelists include Professors Judy Wu (history, Ohio State University), Moon-Ho Jung (history, University of Washington), Wendy Kozol (CAS director, Oberlin), and Pablo Mitchell (history and CAS, Oberlin). Professor Harrod Suarez (English, Oberlin) and fourth-year CAS major Rachel Ishikawa will co-moderate the discussion.
