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:Case Studies in World History: Summer Institute for Community College Faculty
DESCRIPTION:This program revisits the ORIAS focus on teaching World History through a collaboration with History for the 21st Century. Sessions will feature academic talks by H21 authors\, explorations of related teaching materials\, and facilitated discussion about how these topics and materials fit within the context of the World History survey course at community colleges. H21 materials are authored by scholars specifically for use in World History survey courses\, then peer reviewed and classroom-tested prior to publication. This program will feature a mix of published and in-process material. \nThis ORIAS Summer Institute is intended for instructors of world history. Some Global Studies faculty may also find the material relevant and helpful. It is open to community college instructors and (space permitting) high school teachers of AP World History. \nThis FREE program will take place in person at UC Berkeley and lunch will be provided. Space is limited to 25 people on a first-come\, first-served basis. \nTo register\, visit the program webpage.

SUMMARY:Climate and Migration
DESCRIPTION:Summer Institute for k-12 Teachers\nMigration is a core part of the human experience and one of our oldest tools to respond to environmental changes. But current news about both climate change and migration can be panic-inducing. This summer institute for k-12 teachers explores the intersection of climate and migration with realism rather than hysteria. We’ll explore past examples of climate-related migration\, the nuanced relationship between climate and migration in the present\, migration as depicted in the arts\, and possible futures. \n\nThis institute is open to k-12 teachers across disciplines. \nThis FREE program will take place in person. Lunch will be provided. Space is limited to 24 people on a first-come\, first-served basis. \nProfessional development credit is available upon request during the registration process. Teachers who attend for credit will be expected to submit a lesson plan featuring material used in the program.

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: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
