Julius Mitchell

Julius graduated from Yale College with distinction in Political Science and Ethnicity, Race & Migration. In August 2013, he will be joining the Yale-China Teaching Fellowship at their rural site in Anhui Province. While there, he will expand his proficiency in Mandarin, sharpen his competency in Chinese culture and teach English to students at Xiuning Middle School. In addition to language teaching and learning for two years, Julius looks forward to eating authentic Chinese food, perfecting his calligraphy skills, teaching himself to play guitar and building strong relationships with his students and their families. He plans to put his Ethnicity, Race & Migration knowledge to use by eventually publishing a book about living in rural China from an African-American perspective.
