SUMMARY:Global Reads Webinar with Aya Khalil
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a discussion with Aya Khalil\, author of The Great Banned-Book Bake Sale\, winner of the 2024 Middle East Outreach Council Book Award for picture books and the Joy for Books Award. Ms. Khalil also wrote The Arabic Quilt\, a 2021 Honor Book for Young Children for the Children’s Africana Book Awards and winner of a 2021 Arab American Book Award. She has also published other books about and for Arab American children. \n\n\nSynopsis: \n“Kanzi\, the immigrant girl of Aya Khalil and Anait Semirdzhyan’s bestselling picture book The Arabic Quilt\, has come to feel welcome in her American school―that is\, until an entire shelf of books about immigrant kids and kids of color suddenly disappears from the school library. Upon learning that the books with kids who look like her have been banned by her school district\, Kanzi descends into fear and helplessness. But her classmates support her\, and together―with their teacher’s help―they hatch a plan to hold a bake sale and use the proceeds to buy diverse books to donate to libraries. The event is a big success; the entire school participates\, and the local TV station covers it in the evening news. Prodded by her classmates to read the poem she has written\, Kanzi starts softly but finds her voice. “You have banned important books\, but you can’t ban my words\,” she reads. “Books are for everyone.” The crowd chants\, “No banned books! No banned books!” and the next week\, the ban is reversed.” (from  https://www.ayakhalil.com/the-great-banned-books-bake-sale)\n\n\n\nYou will receive a Zoom link after you register.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Middle East Outreach Council.

SUMMARY:The World in Film: House in the Fields
DESCRIPTION:House in the Fields   \nWith filmmaker Tala Hadid \nregister at tinyurl.com/houseinthefields \nFree screener link provided to all upon registration to view film on your own\n30 registrants will get free streaming access to the film for classroom use. \nTeachers are invited to view the film House in the Fields\, then join filmmaker Tala Hadid and engage with fellow educators to consider the film’s classroom applications. Participants will get free access to view the film plus a viewing guide. \nHouse in the Fields examines the life of an isolated rural Amazigh community in the south-west region of the High Atlas Mountains. The thousand-year history of the Amazigh in Morocco has been\, for the most part\, recounted\, preserved and transmitted by bards and storytellers in oral form among Tamazight speaking pastoral communities. \nContinuing this tradition of transmission in an audiovisual form\, House in the Fields attempts to faithfully document and present a portrait of a village and community that has remained unchanged for hundreds of years despite being confronted with the rapidly changing sociopolitical realities of the country at large. The film follows the lives of certain villagers\, most specifically two teenage sisters\, one who must give up school to prepare for her wedding\, and the other who dreams of being a judge. \nThis workshop is a collaboration between federally-funded National Resource Centers and Documentary Educational Resources (DER). This program was organized and supported by: UT Austin Center for Middle Eastern Studies\, University of Arizona Center for Middle Eastern Studies\, Georgetown University Center for Contemporary Arab Studies\, and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Center for South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies\, in conjunction with DER.

We encourage educators to read the books with your colleagues\, students\, and community\, and then join us to hear more from the author. \nK12 Educators! You’re invited to an evening with Ari Tison\, author of the 2024 Américas Award winning young adult novel\, Saints of the Household. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss the book with the author and consider classroom applications.  \nSaints of the Household is a haunting contemporary YA about an act of violence in a small-town–beautifully told by a debut Indigenous Costa Rican-American writer–that will take your breath away. \nMax and Jay have always depended on one another for their survival. Growing up with a physically abusive father\, the two Bribri American brothers have learned that the only way to protect themselves and their mother is to stick to a schedule and keep their heads down. \nBut when they hear a classmate in trouble in the woods\, instinct takes over and they intervene\, breaking up a fight and beating their high school’s star soccer player to a pulp. This act of violence threatens the brothers’ dreams for the future and their beliefs about who they are. As the true details of that fateful afternoon unfold over the course of the novel\, Max and Jay grapple with the weight of their actions\, their shifting relationship as brothers\, and the realization that they may be more like their father than they thought. They’ll have to reach back to their Bribri roots to find their way forward. \nTold in alternating points of view using vignettes and poems\, debut author Ari Tison crafts an emotional\, slow-burning drama about brotherhood\, abuse\, recovery\, and doing the right thing. \n\nPura Belpré Award Winner\nWalter Award Winner for Young Adult Literature\nA YALSA William C.

SUMMARY:Globalizing the Community College Curriculum Conference: Arts and Education without Borders
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe University of Arizona’s U.S. Department of Education Title VI Centers — Center for East Asian Studies (CEAS)\, Center for Educational Resources in Culture\, Language and Literacy (CERCLL)\, Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS) and Center for Middle Eastern Studies (CMES) —  are excited to invite you to join our ninth annual Globalizing the Community College Curricula Conference. This year’s conference’s theme\, “Arts and Education without Borders\,” aims to explore innovative strategies and best practices for integrating global perspectives into community college curricula through the arts. \nArts encompass a wide range of creative expressions that include visual arts\, performing arts\, literary arts\, and more. Each form of art uses different mediums\, techniques\, and styles to convey ideas\, emotions\, and experiences. \nArts in education play a vital role in fostering a well-rounded and holistic learning experience. By incorporating arts into the curriculum\, educators help students develop essential life skills\, enhance their academic abilities\, and nurture their emotional and social well-being. \nAs our world becomes increasingly interconnected\, it is crucial for community colleges to prepare students to thrive in a globalized society. The arts provide a unique platform for fostering cross-cultural understanding\, empathy\, critical thinking\, and creative expression. The conference theme\, “Arts and Education without Borders\,” explores how the arts can be leveraged to globalize community college curricula\, creating more inclusive and culturally responsive educational experiences for students\, and preparing them for diverse\, multicultural environments. \nThis conference is free and will be meeting in-person only. Friday dinner and a light breakfast Saturday will be included for all participants. \nRegistration is required. Please register here. Spaces are limited. Registration will close on January 10\, 2025 or when we reach capacity. \nMore detailed information on the conference agenda will be shared soon. For now\, please note the following preliminary schedule: \nFriday\, January 17: The keynote presentation will begin at 5:30 pm with a dinner to follow at 7:00 pm. \nAlana Hernandez will give the keynote lecture at the University of Arizona Poetry Center at 5:30 pm. This lecture is presented in collaboration with the Poetry Center\, the College of Humanities\, the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences\, and the 9th Annual Globalizing the Community College Curricula Conference. \nHernandez is Senior Curator at the ASU Art Museum. In her curatorial practice\, Hernandez conceptualizes exhibitions and projects as relational and co-creative work with artists and develops projects that amplify intersectional and multifaceted interpretations of Latinx art.  She actively engages in a curatorial and methodological model that prioritizes visibility\, decentralized institutional authorship\, and community-embedded agency and works directly with constituencies to facilitate meaning-making that is generative\, mobilizing\, and transformative. In recent years\, much of Hernandez’s curatorial work centers on Latinx art and artists working with print and craft-based mediums and investigates how the aesthetic statements thus employed are integral\, often political producers of cultural consciousness. \nHernandez was previously Executive Director & Curator at CALA Alliance. She has held curatorial positions at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego; the Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York; Páramo\, Guadalajara\, Mexico; Hunter East Harlem\, New York; the Museum of Modern Art\, New York; the Phoenix Art Museum; and BRIC Arts Media\, Brooklyn. Her writing has appeared in several exhibition catalogues and online journals\, including HereIn Journal. Hernandez received her M.A. from CUNY Hunter College\, where she specialized in Modern and Contemporary Latin American Art. \nSaturday\, January 18: Panel sessions and conference activities will take place in the ENR2 Building\, Room S107 from 8:30 am – 5:30 pm\, beginning with a light breakfast. \nFor out of town attendees\, the Tucson Marriott University Park has set aside a small block of rooms at a discounted conference rate of $159/night plus taxes. Use this link to reserve a room at the special rate. Please do so soon so that the rate will be guaranteed. \nFor questions\, please contact us at TVI-Outreach@arizona.edu.
