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.

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).

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.
