SUMMARY:Following The Gold Road: Global Medieval Africa in the Time of Ghana\, Mali\, and Songhai
DESCRIPTION:The Gold Road is a three-part lecture series for K-12 educators that explores the medieval West African empires of Ghana\, Mali\, and Songhai (6th–16th centuries). The program reframes global medieval history by centering Africa’s essential role in the world economy through its prized resource—gold—and by spotlighting its contributions to art\, architecture\, learning\, and governance. \nUnder the theme “Following the Gold Road: West Africa and the Medieval Global Order”\, the State of Education Conference (SOE) hosted by the Africa America Institute in partnership with Howard University Center for African Studies and Boston University African Studies Center explores the centrality of ancient West African empires to the global economy. And while The Gold Road is especially useful for educators\, it is a free conference open to the public\, inviting all who are interested to participate. \nOur annual SOE is grounded in the belief that the liberation of Africa and the Americas are inextricably linked\, and that an unbiased and scholarly-based understanding of Africa’s history is essential to that connection. \nSessions:\nJanuary 14th\, 2026 from 12:30 ET-1:30 ET with Dr. Michael Gomez and Medina Thiam: Geography\, Technology\, and Governance \nJanuary 21st\, from 12:30 ET-1:30 ET with Dr. Sarah Guerin and Mr. Yinka Adegoke: Gold\, Power\, and Global Trade Networks \nJanuary 28th\, from 12:30 ET-1:30 ET with Dr. Fallou Ngom and Dr. Gana Ndiaye: Ajami Manuscripts & Knowledge Production in West Africa \nRegister here: https://www.aaiafrica.org/soe2026

SUMMARY:Following The Gold Road: Global Medieval Africa in the Time of Ghana\, Mali\, and Songhai
DESCRIPTION:The Gold Road is a three-part lecture series for K-12 educators that explores the medieval West African empires of Ghana\, Mali\, and Songhai (6th–16th centuries). The program reframes global medieval history by centering Africa’s essential role in the world economy through its prized resource—gold—and by spotlighting its contributions to art\, architecture\, learning\, and governance. \nUnder the theme “Following the Gold Road: West Africa and the Medieval Global Order”\, the State of Education Conference (SOE) hosted by the Africa America Institute in partnership with Howard University Center for African Studies and Boston University African Studies Center explores the centrality of ancient West African empires to the global economy. And while The Gold Road is especially useful for educators\, it is a free conference open to the public\, inviting all who are interested to participate. \nOur annual SOE is grounded in the belief that the liberation of Africa and the Americas are inextricably linked\, and that an unbiased and scholarly-based understanding of Africa’s history is essential to that connection. \nSessions:\nJanuary 14th\, 2026 from 12:30 ET-1:30 ET with Dr. Michael Gomez and Medina Thiam: Geography\, Technology\, and Governance \nJanuary 21st\, from 12:30 ET-1:30 ET with Dr. Sarah Guerin and Mr. Yinka Adegoke: Gold\, Power\, and Global Trade Networks \nJanuary 28th\, from 12:30 ET-1:30 ET with Dr. Fallou Ngom and Dr. Gana Ndiaye: Ajami Manuscripts & Knowledge Production in West Africa \nRegister here: https://www.aaiafrica.org/soe2026

SUMMARY:Summer Teacher Institute 2025: “Teaching the Three Muslim Empires in the First Global Era”
DESCRIPTION:There are many complexities and contradictions in teaching about the First Global Era from 1450 to 1750. The Mughal\, Safavid\, and Ottoman Empires arose alongside the overall expansion of Islam into new Asian and African regions. As “gunpowder empires\,” they owed their conquests to the weapons of mass destruction of that age–cannons\, artillery\, and hand-held firearms. There is the problem of their military conquests and subsequent patronage of arts\, science\, engineering\, and Islamic institutions. Indeed\, these three empires’ patronage and style brought forth new heights in the Islamic arts and architecture.\nA pedagogical problem in teaching about them is historical hindsight. Comparing the splendor of Mughal\, Safavid and Ottoman royal portraits\, magnificent courts\, and artistic outpouring beside similar portraits and courtly magnificence of rising European nations\, the former are seen as decadent\, and the latter as dynamic\, creative and in ascendance. The eruption of European nations into the oceans\, and claims of universal sovereignty overshadow the global role of the 3 empires. Alongside new worlds of human society and civilization that Europeans encountered in their travels\, their experience of the Mughal\, Safavid and Ottoman Empires contributed to three major movements in the First Global Era–the Scientific Revolution\, the Protestant Reformation\, and the Enlightenment–through exchange and exposure to new social and commercial environments. \nThis summer institute explores these historical conundrums and the ways in which cross-cultural and inter-cultural exchanges enriched global civilization and investigates the evidence for commercial\, religious\, artistic and intellectual influences that flowed in all directions. We will explore how these interactions set the tone for the industrial and imperial eras\, and their lasting influence. \nIn-person and virtual attendees will receive teaching resources to incorporate into the curriculum. Lunch will be served daily\, reflecting regional culinary cultures. A museum trip to the Smithsonian Museum of Asian Art is planned. Registration here https://forms.gle/fjthYNqmYnR3ensdA. \nThis program is made possible by a Title VI grant from the United States Department of Education\, which is funding a National Resource Center on the Middle East and North Africa at Georgetown University\, and by support from the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies and the Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding.

SUMMARY:Infrastructure and Society
DESCRIPTION:Summer Institute for K-12 Teachers\n“…infrastructures are built networks that facilitate the flow of goods\, people\, or ideas and allow for their exchange over space.”  \n(Larkin 2013\, as quoted in Appel\, Anand\, and Gupta 2018) \n“…infrastructures often quite literally connect and constitute boundaries between public and private\, boundaries that people sometimes reject or attempt to transgress. Governance\, it turns out\, does not take place at a distance but through the intimacy and proximity of toilets\, pipes\, and potholed roads.” \n(Appel\, Anand\, and Gupta 2018) \nWherever you are right now\, as you read this webpage\, you are almost certainly interacting with multiple infrastructures. These networks for transportation\, communication\, and exchange can fade into the background of our day-to-day experiences. They catch our attention when they malfunction\, or when our goals run at cross purposes to the pathways and behaviors they were built to facilitate. As the passage above suggests\, this daily interaction with infrastructure is the primary way most people experience their government. \nWhat can we learn about present and past societies by examining their infrastructures? What does infrastructure tell us about imagined or intended futures? How does it change the society that creates and maintains it? What is the relationship between infrastructure and environment\, and what happens when aspects of that environment change? Why do societies maintain and adapt some infrastructures\, while abandoning others? \nThis 4-day summer institute will explore these and other questions\, considering infrastructures across place and time. It will include presentations by scholars\, interactive activities\, discussions\, and two field trips to East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) sites. \n\nThis institute is open to k-12 teachers in any discipline. It will be especially relevant for teachers of geography\, global studies\, government/AP Comparative Government\, economics and modern world history. It will also be useful for those who teach environmental science or engineering\, who wish to incorporate a social science/policy angle in their courses. ELA\, World Language\, and visual/film arts teachers may find it helpful in thinking/teaching about how built environments are portrayed and used symbolically in literature and the arts. \nThis FREE program will take place in person. Lunch will be provided. Space is limited to 25 people on a first-come\, first-served basis. \nProfessional development credit is available upon request during the registration process. \nRead more and register.

SUMMARY:Language Teacher Summer Institute - REGISTRATION DEADLINE MAY 31
