  We invite you to share this message and the conference website (www.gonzaga.edu/icohs) with others who may be interested. Conference participants will hear from internationally renowned speakers, bridge theory and practice, engage in workshops and discussions, name the injustices of dehumanization in all manifestations, and reignite passions to address the “dis-ease” of hatred. Conference participants will receive a link to attend the four featured panel presentations and choose from many concurrent presentations, workshops, and roundtable discussions.
