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

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

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:Global Issues Through Literature
DESCRIPTION:Reading group for K-16 educators explores texts through a global perspective. \nThis professional development workshop series is designed for K-12 educators seeking to deepen their understanding of global issues through literature. This year\, we will explore the theme of “The U.S. in the World.” Through global and regional perspectives\, we will discuss narratives of a “Global United States\,” where the U.S. role in the world and its relationship with other countries and regions is informed by transnational narratives and dialogues shaped by global trends such as migration\, environmental issues\, human rights\, and human conditions. By exploring compelling stories from diverse cultural perspectives\, educators will gain insights into the complexities of this theme\, its impact on individuals and communities\, and how to engage students in meaningful discussions around these topics.
