SUMMARY:Summer Teacher Institute 2025: “Teaching the Three Muslim Empires in the First Global Era”
DESCRIPTION:There are many complexities and contradictions in teaching about the First Global Era from 1450 to 1750. The Mughal\, Safavid\, and Ottoman Empires arose alongside the overall expansion of Islam into new Asian and African regions. As “gunpowder empires\,” they owed their conquests to the weapons of mass destruction of that age–cannons\, artillery\, and hand-held firearms. There is the problem of their military conquests and subsequent patronage of arts\, science\, engineering\, and Islamic institutions. Indeed\, these three empires’ patronage and style brought forth new heights in the Islamic arts and architecture.\nA pedagogical problem in teaching about them is historical hindsight. Comparing the splendor of Mughal\, Safavid and Ottoman royal portraits\, magnificent courts\, and artistic outpouring beside similar portraits and courtly magnificence of rising European nations\, the former are seen as decadent\, and the latter as dynamic\, creative and in ascendance. The eruption of European nations into the oceans\, and claims of universal sovereignty overshadow the global role of the 3 empires. Alongside new worlds of human society and civilization that Europeans encountered in their travels\, their experience of the Mughal\, Safavid and Ottoman Empires contributed to three major movements in the First Global Era–the Scientific Revolution\, the Protestant Reformation\, and the Enlightenment–through exchange and exposure to new social and commercial environments. \nThis summer institute explores these historical conundrums and the ways in which cross-cultural and inter-cultural exchanges enriched global civilization and investigates the evidence for commercial\, religious\, artistic and intellectual influences that flowed in all directions. We will explore how these interactions set the tone for the industrial and imperial eras\, and their lasting influence. \nIn-person and virtual attendees will receive teaching resources to incorporate into the curriculum. Lunch will be served daily\, reflecting regional culinary cultures. A museum trip to the Smithsonian Museum of Asian Art is planned. Registration here https://forms.gle/fjthYNqmYnR3ensdA. \nThis program is made possible by a Title VI grant from the United States Department of Education\, which is funding a National Resource Center on the Middle East and North Africa at Georgetown University\, and by support from the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies and the Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding.

SUMMARY:Summer Teacher Institute 2023:  "The Long 19th Century in the Middle East and North Africa\, and Its Global Impact"
DESCRIPTION:Annual institute sponsored by Georgetown University’s Center for Contemporary Arab Studies and Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding \nThe Summer Teacher Institute 2023 will continue the thread of past institutes for educators looking at the MENA region in a global context\, and in close relation to European cultural trends that play a major role in world historical narratives. Having studied the Renaissance and the Enlightenment as globally influenced phenomena\, this institute will explore the period known as the Long Nineteenth Century—taking a view from the mid-eighteenth century to the early decades of the twentieth century. The object is to provide a framework for understanding and teaching about the forces\, groups and individuals who were agents of the enormous changes that took place during that time period\, and its impacts on people at all levels of society.  \nAttendees will receive access to teaching resources\, readings and other media.\n \nRegister at this link. Light breakfast and lunch will be served daily. Join us if you can for the in-person vibe! Virtual attendees also welcome\, nationally and internationally. \nThis program is made possible by a Title VI grant from the United States Department of Education\, which is funding a National Resource Center on the Middle East and North Africa at Georgetown University\, and by support from the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies and the Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown.
