SUMMARY:Reframing Literacies Across Borders: A K12 Educator Workshop
DESCRIPTION:*Note: This workshop is in-person at the University of Texas at Austin. If you are an educator residing in Central Texas\, we hope you’ll join us! \n \nRegister here: https://utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eXunaKkcQItBZGK \nWe live in global societies and our K-12 classrooms are often global microcosms. As teachers across disciplines and age groups\, how do we best acknowledge the diversity that \nalready exists while incorporating a variety of global perspectives and texts? \nHemispheres is partnering with Kurt Wootton\, founder of lab school Habla and the ArtsLiteracy project at Brown University to provide creative\, interdisciplinary strategies for teaching and learning through texts across world regions. Kurt’s expertise in literacy development will help us reframe how to incorporate varied texts across disciplines in a way that forges community\, integrates the Arts\, and builds students actively invested in their own learning. \nThis workshop will be capped at 30 participants\, and educators who register by June 2nd will receive a stipend of $100 to cover mileage and parking costs at UT campus. Participants are eligible for up to 5 CPE credits. \nWorkshop includes: Coffee\, lunch\, and optional guided tour of the Harry Ransom Center’s children’s literature exhibition “Words and Wonder” from 3pm-4pm \nPlease reach out to us at hemispheres@austin.utexas.edu with any questions.

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: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.
