SUMMARY:Micro-Course: Technology\, Humanity\, and Social Justice
DESCRIPTION:As humans rely more and more on electronic devices to support their everyday activities\, there are ever present warnings about the impacts such reliance has on human autonomy ranging from who owns and controls information networks\, the inequitable impact of technology consumption on peoples and places\, varying accessibility of technology around the globe\, and the promises and limitations of technology in improving human health. By engaging in technology as a lens\, this sequence of weekend micro-courses encourages students to examine technology as a system disproportionately impacting humanity by enabling and constraining human rights of groups of people around the globe. With a multi-disciplinary focus\, the course invites researchers and practitioners from the University of Pittsburgh\, Carnegie Mellon\, and relevant fields more broadly. In Fall 2023\, the focus will be on the impact technology has on human health. This will include a discussion about technology’s impact on human interactions\, including mental health amid a pandemic and the changing reliance on technology on health care delivery. It will also include a focus on the accessibility and disparities on health care’s increased use of technology across the globe as well as the transition to digitizing health records and the dangers this creates in relation to privacy\, among others. Previous micro-course sessions in this series focused on the environment and education.

SUMMARY:Reading the World: A Book Group for K-12 Teachers Focused on Global Literature
DESCRIPTION:Brazilian educator Paulo Freire writes\, “Reading is not exhausted merely by decoding the written word or written language\, but rather anticipated by and extending into knowledge of the world. Reading the world precedes reading the word\, and the subsequent reading of the word cannot dispense with continually reading the world. Language and reality are dynamically intertwined” (The Importance of the Act of Reading). \nJoin the University of Arizona Centers for East Asian Studies\, Latin American Studies\, and Middle Eastern Studies for our Reading the World book group. Inspired by Freire’s words\, we aim to create a space dedicated to educators discussing authentic and engaging global literature for elementary\, middle\, and high school classrooms. We welcome in-service and pre-service teachers\, educational aides\, administrators\, and librarians. \nWe meet each month from 4:30-6:00 pm at the Eckstrom-Columbus Library (4350 E 22nd St\, Tucson\, AZ 85711). We welcome your participation whether you’ve read the whole book or a single page. Monthly attendance is encouraged but not required. These monthly events are free and open to the public. \nThis Month: \nOur September title is the young adult novel\, The Last Cuentista by Donna Barba Higuera. \nThe Last Cuentista is the winner of the John Newbery Medal and the Pura Belpré Award. \nFor questions\, please contact Katrina Dillon at kedillon@arizona.edu

SUMMARY:China-Africa Contemporary Relations:  a Summer Institute for Educators
DESCRIPTION:China’s ascendancy as a dominant economic and political global power has been the subject of much scholarly and political debate. More specifically\, China’s renewed interest in Africa continues to beg the question\, what is China’s Africa strategy or Africa – China Strategy? Some scholars suggest that China’s strategic interests in Africa are purely economic\, resource extraction\, and exploitation\, which has led to renewed concerns about neo-colonialism. Other questions raised include how this arrangement will benefit African countries engaged with China. This course seeks to examine these issues and better understand how China’s engagement in Africa may have a consequential impact on the continent. \nDates: June 26-29\, 2023 \nTime: 9 am-1:30 pm CDT \nRegistration fee: free (includes parking\, lunch and all materials) \nRegistration plus on-campus housing for June 25-29\, 2023:  $275  \nRegistration deadline: June 12\, 2023\, or until full \nRegistration link: https://z.umn.edu/chinaafrica \nCEUs: 20 contact hours \nWhere: In person\, University of Minnesota West Bank\, Minneapolis MN

SUMMARY:The World As It Could Be: Speculative Fiction from around the World
DESCRIPTION:Summer Institute for k-12 Teachers\nSpeculative fiction includes a wide range of genres: science fiction\, fantasy\, African- and AfroFuturism\, dystopian fiction\, climate fiction\, and more. All of these genres use different forms of world-building to deeply engage with current issues and explore possible futures. By asking the question\, “What if…?” authors invite readers to confront our hopes and fears and imagine better worlds. \nTo what extent do these “What if…?” questions reflect universal human concerns? In what ways are they windows into the cultural contexts of specific authors? \nThis ORIAS summer institute will feature short works from around the world. Participants will read\, view\, and analyze short works from a variety of regions\, using speculative fiction as a lens to understand and contextualize current issues in the real world. We’ll explore the role of speculative fiction in helping students develop cultural literacy and experiment with teaching methods that encourage creative engagement with works of fiction. \nThe Summer Institute is open to k-12 teachers across disciplines. See the World As It Could Be program website for more information.

SUMMARY:Schools for the Planet:  Toward Universal Climate Literacy with  Children’s Literature and Media
DESCRIPTION:Led by Dr. Nick Kleese\, Dr. Jana Lo Bello Miller\, Dr. Stephanie Rollag Yoon \nDates: June 20-22\, 2023 \nTime: 9:00 am-1:30 pm \nCost: Free (includes resources) \nCost with dorm lodging from June 18-22\, 2023: $275 \nRegistration link: https://z.umn.edu/climatelit \nWe are a climate-illiterate civilization that has sleepwalked into climate breakdown\, biodiversity crash\, and unprecedented social inequalities that exacerbate planetary ecocide. To turn this around\, we need to transform our wealth-based\, extractive civilization into a sustainable and equitable ecological civilization. This transition requires that we build universal climate literacy. It makes our classrooms ground zero for this effort.  \nIn this three-day summer school\, literacy educators Nick Kleese\, Jana Lo Bello Miller\, and Stephanie Rollag Yoon will guide you to engage with pedagogical practices of envisioning\, embodying\, and enacting climate literacy education in your classroom. You will learn why traditional climate change education (CCE)\, focused on scientific and environmental facts\, is inadequate to address the social\, racial\, and political dimensions of climate change. You will explore climate literacy as a broader competence that includes climate science but focuses primarily on developing attitudes and values aligned with how we should live to respect our planetary home. You will learn why stories for young people—in books\, films\, games\, and other narrative media—are the best technology for the social transformation that ensures everyone’s future: a technology that makes climate literacy accessible to every student everywhere. \nThis summer school will be offered in person on the East Bank of the University of Minnesota from 9:00 am-1:30 pm on Tuesday\, June 20th\, Wednesday\, June 21st\, and Thursday\, June 22.

SUMMARY:Crime and Punishment: The Creation and Transformation of Legal Regimes
DESCRIPTION:Summer Institute for Community College Instructors\nOver the past five centuries\, expanding imperial ventures\, human migrations\, and emerging technologies created challenges to governance. As increasing numbers of merchants and soldiers\, bureaucrats and laborers traveled the world\, what systems of rules governed their behaviors? To what extent did the legal regimes of their home governments constrain or direct their individual activities as well as their interactions with others? What happened when the movement of people around the globe brought two legal regimes into contact with one another? \nThe answers to these questions are at the intersection of broad political policies and day-to-day life. In court cases and administrative decisions\, we see lawyers and bureaucrats differentiating between trade and smuggling\, labor contracts and enslavement\, taxation and theft\, ruler and ruled. As states\, communities\, and individuals negotiated individual cases\, they transformed local governance practices into legal regimes that spanned the world. \nThis ORIAS summer institute will focus on the emergence and transformation of global legal regimes from the late 18th century to the present. Through the lens of crime and punishment\, participants will learn about the historical processes through which legal regimes have been created\, reinforced\, negotiated\, and expanded. We will also explore the role of global legal regimes in modern international issues including migration\, natural resources\, and climate change. \nThis ORIAS Summer Institute is intended for instructors of modern world history and global studies\, as well as macroeconomics\, international relations\, and political science. It is open to community college instructors and (space permitting) high school teachers of AP history-social science courses. \nThis is an in-person event. Space is limited to 20 people on a first-come\, first-served basis. See the Crime and Punishment program website for more information and to register. \n
