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:Climate Change and Sustainable Development in Africa
DESCRIPTION:In person at the University of Minnesota. \nThis is a Title VI  African Studies Initiative Summer. \nThe vulnerability of the African continent to climate change cannot be overstated. According to a recent article\, “due to the widespread impacts of climate change” Africa is “losing 5% to 15% of its gross domestic product growth annually. Seventeen of the twenty countries most affected by climate change are located in Africa.” The purpose of this institute is to share current knowledge\, resources\, and ideas about climate change mitigation\, climate change adaptation\, and climate justice in Africa with educators to enable them to develop classroom materials that they will use in their various curricula. We will examine multiple case studies on the African continent to learn how Africans are focusing on solutions to the changes they experience. \nInvited Guest Speakers: \n\nDr. Lydia Kitonga\, Head of the Department of Agricultural Sciences\, Kisii University\, Kenya\nDr. Judith Odhiambo\, Head of the Department of Agricultural Education and Extension\, Kisii University\, Kenya\nDennis Mugambi- Graduate Student\, College of Food and Agricultural Science\, UMN\nChidi Chidozie – Hennepin County Master Gardener\nDr. Teddie M. Potter – Clinical Professor\, Director of Planetary Health\, UMN\nMelvine Anyango Otieno – Founder\, Planetary Health East Africa Hub\, PHD Candidate at MLU Halle (Saale)

SUMMARY:Schools for the Planet Summer Institute
DESCRIPTION:Toward Universal Climate Literacy with Children’s Literature and Media \nIn this three-day in person summer school\, literacy educators Drs. Nick Kleese\, Jana Lo Bello Miller\, and Stephanie Rollag Yoon will help you bring climate literacy education into your classroom. Educators at all grade levels and all content areas are welcome. \nYou 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 focuses primarily on developing attitudes and values aligned with how we should live to respect our planetary home. You will come away with teaching materials for your specific classroom. Participants will receive free CEUs\, a picturebook\, resource kit\, and more.

SUMMARY:Conflicts and Change: Book Club for Educators
DESCRIPTION:Join us virtually to delve into discussions with speakers from various National Resource Centers as well as other experts across the United States. \nK16 Educators! Please join us for next week’s World Area Book Club meeting featuring 2023 Américas Award winning author Alexis Castellanos and her graphic novel Isla to Island. \nThis event will start with a presentation by Alexis Castellanos and the opportunity for Q and A. Following a short period for discussion\, participants will hear from an expert on Cuba to help contextualize the graphic novel. Curriculum resources will be shared. \nAbout Isla to Island:\nThis stunning wordless graphic novel follows a young girl in the 1960s who immigrates from Cuba to the United States and must redefine what home means to her. Marisol loves her colorful island home. Cuba is vibrant with flowers and food and people…but things are changing. The home Marisol loves is no longer safe—and then it’s no longer her home at all. Her parents are sending her to the United States. Alone. Nothing about Marisol’s new life in cold\, gray Brooklyn feels like home—not the language\, school\, or even her foster parents. But Marisol starts to realize that home isn’t always a place. And finding her way can be as simple as staying true to herself. \nWhen: Tuesday\, March 5\, 2024\n7pm-9 pm Eastern\n6pm-8pm Central\n5pm-7 pm Mountain\n4pm-6pm Pacific \nWhere: Zoom\nRegister: https://arizona.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIkcu2rrz4vHtDXOfYtpsMqt0egQsiLqM5Z \nThe World Area Book Club is organized by the University of Minnesota’s Institute for Global Studies. This event is sponsored by the Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Arizona\, The Center for Latin American\, Caribbean\, and Latinx Studies at Vanderbilt University\, The Stone Center for Latin American Studies at Tulane University\, The Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Utah\, The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, The Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies at UC Berkeley\, and LLILAS Benson at UT Austin. \nWe look forward to seeing you there. \nIf you have any questions\, please reach out to Katrina Dillon at kedillon@arizona.edu \n

SUMMARY:KITA Lessons for American Preschools
DESCRIPTION:We are looking for students\, administrators\, educators\, community leaders and practitioners to join this special opportunity investigating preschool programs with high populations of immigrant children in Germany in order to impact our Minnesota preschool programs. First time international travelers and those reflecting Minnesota’s increasingly diverse student population are encouraged to apply. \nAccepted participants will join Deborah Jane from the Institute for Global Studies and Ann Besser retired faculty from North Hennepin Community College to delve into KITAs of Germany\, with a focus on the preschool immigrant experience. KITA’s are German daycares for children under 6. Through site visits to German nursery schools and daycare centers\, KITA Lessons for American Preschools will teach participants about the educational foundations of early childhood education\, both the practical applications and best practices\, but also about pitfalls and problems encountered by German initiatives. Moreover\, the proposal aims at fostering professional relationships between the American participants and their German colleagues. \nFrom visiting KITAs in Berlin\, Brandenburg and Erfurt\, participants will learn about the ways each state runs their KITAs while having time with colleagues to experience local cultural sites. Through this intensive study tour participants will continue on their journeys to better Minnesota preschools. \nAccepted applicants will have their airfare\, in-country travel\, travel insurance and lodging covered for this experience.  Program participants will be responsible for meals and incidentals. \nApplication deadline January 31\, 2024

SUMMARY:Globalizing Rural Teacher Training Mentorship
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Professional Education at rural Bemidji State University will partner with the Institute for Global Studies at the University of Minnesota to connect teacher candidates with global-minded educators from across the United States. \nThis year\, 4-5 experienced licensed teachers will work with Deborah Jane at the Institute for Global Studies and Dr. Kathrina O’Connell to mentor teacher candidates in Language Arts 1 (ED 3201) and Language Arts II (ED 3202) in working with representational texts that feature indigenous peoples throughout the world. \nSince 2021\, the Institute for Global Studies has provided the BSU A.C. Clark Library with hundreds of award-winning global books (including those featuring indigenous peoples) for the Children and Young Adult section. Not only will this project support the use of these books in teacher candidates’ field experiences in Bemidji-area schools\, but it will also support the development of the teacher candidates’ culturally reflective teaching practices.

SUMMARY:Experiencing the Pine Ridge Reservation with Students
DESCRIPTION:January 26\, 2024 \n\n2:00 pm-3:00 pm Eastern\n1:00 pm-2:00pm Central\n12pm-1:00 pm Mountain\n11:00 am-12:00 pm Pacific\n\nPlease join us for a special January session of our Global Studies Virtual Symposium\, an event that connects global studies scholars and educators across community college campuses nationwide. The symposium offers an engaging teaching and learning forum for sharing best practices\, ideas\, and resources with colleagues. \nBeginning in the spring of 2016\, Dr Amy Magnus created a new course at South Central College entitled: Dakota History\, Culture and Language. This course had several goals: to teach the Dakota history and culture\, to introduce students to the Dakota language\, (with an Upper Sioux tribal member) and to engage in some sort of trip/service learning opportunity on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Over seventy-five students took part in this experience and were introduced to Lakota culture\, visited historic sites like the Wounded Knee Massacre Memorial\, and spent a day volunteering at one of the reservation elementary schools. This presentation will discuss this experience. \nDr. Amy Magnus has been teaching at South Central College in North Mankato\, Minnesota\, for over twenty years. With a Ph.D. in Multi-Cultural literature from Case Western Reserve University and a credential in American Indian Studies\, she has created the American Indian Studies courses at the college. Teaching these courses as well as film\, English classes\, and American Racial Minorites\, Dr. Magnus works to share these cultures with her students both in and out of the classroom.  As the coordinator of the SCC Global Conference\, a large two-day event that occurs every two years\, she has worked to bring artists\, musicians\, and speakers from other cultures and backgrounds to the campus. She has also created courses that seek to include learning outside the classroom\, such as an Indigenous Cuisine course she created for SCC’s Culinary Program\, and the course she will be talking about today\, Dakota History\, Culture and Language\, a class that includes a service-learning opportunity and trip to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.

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.
