Kurt Russell advocates for classrooms to better reflect the students within them — from a curriculum that reflects their backgrounds and identities to a more diverse teaching profession. Kurt teaches history at Oberlin High School in Oberlin, Ohio, where he was born and raised. He also serves as faculty advisor for the student-led Black Student Union and is the head coach for the school’s varsity basketball team.

He will be interviewed by Audrianna Wilde, a student journalist from the Scripps College of Communication at Ohio University following his Keynote Address.
