SUMMARY:Afghanistan's Terrain and Traditions
DESCRIPTION:A Professional Development Opportunity for Secondary Social Studies Teachers in the Colorado Front Range\n\n \n \n\nIt has been three years since the United States withdrew from Afghanistan\, and Colorado has since welcomed many Afghan immigrants. Did you know that Afghanistan is now one of the top countries of origin for refugee resettlement in the state? As Front Range school districts serve a growing number of Afghan students\, many Coloradans still know little about the country. Join this one-day workshop to enhance your knowledge and understanding of Afghanistan’s history\, people\, and culture.

SUMMARY:Exploring the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in Economics Courses
DESCRIPTION:Virtual event register here \nUsing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Principles of Economics or Survey of Economics courses can help students bring the global local.  By engaging students with activities and assignments introducing them to the SDGs\, students explore how countries\, governments\, businesses\, consumers\, and individuals make continual economic choices either aligned with or in opposition to the goals.  A supplemental\, yet informal\, curriculum module presents ideas and activities to explore each of the 17 SDGs within the context of learning fundamental economic principles. By integrating these ideas into economics courses\, students can gain a deeper understanding of how economic principles intersect with global sustainability challenges and how economic analysis can help be part of the solution to these challenges.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2 pm-245 pm Eastern\n1-1:45 Central\nnoon-12:45  Mountain\n11- am-11:45 am Pacific\n\n\nJanet Scott teaches Economics\, International Business\, and Intro to Global Studies at Southeast Community College.

SUMMARY:CLACS Summer Teacher Institute: Asian Diasporas in Latin America:
DESCRIPTION:This summer institute examines Asian migration to Latin America and the Caribbean since the mid-19th century\, the experience of their descendants as well the emergence of more recent Asian communities in the region. Presentations will explore the transnational labor demands which gave rise to significant Asian diaspora communities in Peru\, Brazil\, Cuba and Mexico\, the challenges of discrimination and anti-Asian violence and the resilience of these communities in enduring and adapting. The institute also considers late 20th century and contemporary Asian immigrant experiences as well as teaching resources appropriate for world history and Spanish language classrooms.
