SUMMARY:The World in Film: House in the Fields
DESCRIPTION:House in the Fields   \nWith filmmaker Tala Hadid \nregister at tinyurl.com/houseinthefields \nFree screener link provided to all upon registration to view film on your own\n30 registrants will get free streaming access to the film for classroom use. \nTeachers are invited to view the film House in the Fields\, then join filmmaker Tala Hadid and engage with fellow educators to consider the film’s classroom applications. Participants will get free access to view the film plus a viewing guide. \nHouse in the Fields examines the life of an isolated rural Amazigh community in the south-west region of the High Atlas Mountains. The thousand-year history of the Amazigh in Morocco has been\, for the most part\, recounted\, preserved and transmitted by bards and storytellers in oral form among Tamazight speaking pastoral communities. \nContinuing this tradition of transmission in an audiovisual form\, House in the Fields attempts to faithfully document and present a portrait of a village and community that has remained unchanged for hundreds of years despite being confronted with the rapidly changing sociopolitical realities of the country at large. The film follows the lives of certain villagers\, most specifically two teenage sisters\, one who must give up school to prepare for her wedding\, and the other who dreams of being a judge. \nThis workshop is a collaboration between federally-funded National Resource Centers and Documentary Educational Resources (DER). This program was organized and supported by: UT Austin Center for Middle Eastern Studies\, University of Arizona Center for Middle Eastern Studies\, Georgetown University Center for Contemporary Arab Studies\, and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Center for South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies\, in conjunction with DER.

SUMMARY:Teacher Workshop: Samurai\, Kissing Circles\, and the Geometry of Shinto Shrines
DESCRIPTION:David A. Clark\, Randolph-Macon College\nDuring the Tokugawa Period (1603-1868)\, Japan was somewhat isolated from the West\, including the products of the European revolutions in math and science. At the same time\, the Japanese witnessed a cultural renaissance in the visual and performing arts\, music\, fashion\, ceremony … and mathematics. New problems and solutions appeared in Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines across the Japanese landscape. In this talk\, Dr. David A. Clark\, Randolph-Macon College\, and Master Educator Angie Miesle Stokes will help explore how wasan (“wa” = Japanese\, “san” = mathematics) became so delicately folded into 18th century Japanese culture. \nRegistration Link

SUMMARY:Deadline: Summer Institute for Global Educators 2024 Educating for Global Resistance
DESCRIPTION:The free online Summer Institute for Global Educators\, with the support of the National Resource Center Program of the U.S. Department of Education\, will allow in-service and pre-service secondary educators in all subject areas to develop courses and lesson plans with enhanced global and regional studies content. Educators from Title I and Title III schools are especially encouraged to apply. Online synchronous and asynchronous sessions will include the use of film and media\, simulations\, games\, and technology to enhance global learning and teaching. Pitt College in High School (CHS) teachers will have the opportunity to meet with CHS staff on foregrounding global issues while meeting University and district requirements. Participating Pennsylvania teachers can apply for Act 48 credits. 2024 Summer Institute: Educating for Global Resilience  Format: Virtual only July 22-26\, 2024 \nGlobal conflicts\, climate change\, and unequal development challenge both societal and personal resilience by causing displacement\, restricting resources\, and counteracting efforts for a renewable world. Whether in urban or rural areas\, people across the world grapple with creating sustainable livelihoods\, ecosystems\, social infrastructures\, and economies. If resilience can be defined as the competence to reduce precarity during a crisis and build a more thriving society after\, how can we best encourage students to learn about and become agents for global resilience? \nThe 2024 Summer Institute offers a free\, week-long professional development opportunity for K-12 educators\, combining joint sessions with self-selected tracks that balance interactive activities with time for individual research while prioritizing support for the design of high-quality curricular materials. All sessions will be held virtually. \nTracks Offered: “Building Resilience in the Classroom” Acknowledging the various challenges that educators and their students face today\, this track will introduce content and strategies to empower participants with helpful tools to better engage and help their students. From understanding the “new normal” of remote instruction and learning\, to existential threats to society such as climate change\, to the rapidly changing EdTech landscape with the recent acceleration of AI tools\, sessions will focus on growth mindset strategies\, critical thinking\, and problem-solving skills\, and help to develop a global perspective on mental health and well-being. \nInterdisciplinary Global Educators Working Group (IGE) Educators will work collaboratively to draw on the expertise of colleagues at their schools and will model collaborative learning for their students by producing a deliverable in the form of a globalized unit\, lesson\, or module. These deliverables will provide their students with the opportunity to examine political\, economic\, social\, cultural\, ecological\, etc.\, aspects of inequality from multiple lenses. Examples of proposed group projects could include Science and French language teachers teaming up to offer a lesson on global warming in the Francophone world; or Art\, English\, and Social Studies teachers collaboratively developing a unit on responses to the global refugee crisis in art and literature. Educators participating in this track will be provided with the time\, space\, and material support to (re)design an interdisciplinary\, global unit\, lesson or module. All educators will receive a stipend and a mini grant for their team to purchase curricular materials to teach the new/redesigned unit/lesson/module. \n“Teaching Global Conflicts” This track fosters an understanding of conflicts and peace-building through education. Sessions will illustrate the critical role of education in addressing and mitigating global conflicts\, with a specific emphasis on the unique challenges and opportunities presented by conflicts across various world regions.  Educators will delve into strategies for promoting peace\, understanding\, and reconciliation through educational initiatives. Educators will be empowered to effectively navigate sensitive topics\, engage students in meaningful discussions\, and cultivate a generation of global citizens committed to peace-building in societies and beyond.  Application deadline: January 7\, 2024. Notifications will be sent out by April 19\, 2024. For more information and to apply\, please visit: https://www.ucis.pitt.edu/schoolsandcommunity/summer-institute-global-educators

In this one-day virtual professional development workshop for educators at all levels\, our three speakers will explore 500 years of “big data”\, technology and political disinformation\, and people’s fascination with the idea of “automatic writing.” Apply here by uploading a resume\, short letter of interest\, and a sample assignment. \nThe event will feature three keynote talks from three experts engaged in cutting edge research on the themes of truth\, misinformation\, and technology in world history: Dr. Roopika Risam\, Dartmouth College; Dr. Elise Silva\, University of Pittsburgh; and Dr. Annette Vee\, University of Pittsburgh.

SUMMARY:Global Reads Webinar with author Yasmín Ramírez
DESCRIPTION:Once a month\, the World Area Book Awards (Américas Award\, Children’s Africana Book Award\, Freeman Book Award\, Middle East Book Award\, & South Asia Book Award) sponsor a free 60-minute webinar on a book recognized by one of the awards and facilitate a discussion with the author on how to incorporate the book into the classroom. We encourage educators to read the books with your colleagues\, students\, and community\, and then join us to hear more from the author.\n\n\nK12 Educators! You’re invited to an evening with Yasmín Ramírez\, author of the award-winning memoir ¡Ándale\, Prieta! \n\n\nWhen I tell people who don’t speak Spanish what prieta means–dark or the dark one–their eyes pop open and a small gasp escapes . . . How do I tell them that now\, even after the cruelty of children\, Prieta means love? That each time Prieta fell from Ita’s lips\, I learned to love my dark skin. \nNo one calls me that anymore. I miss how her words sounded out loud. \nMy Ita called me Prieta. When she died\, she took the name with her. \nAnchored by the tough grandmother who taught her how to stand firm and throw a punch\, debut author Yasmín Ramírez writes about the punches life’s thrown her non-traditional family of tough Mexican American women. \nHaving spent years of her twenties feeling lost–working an intensely taxing retail job and turning to bars for comfort–the blow of her grandmother’s death pushes Yasmín to unravel. So she comes home to El Paso\, Texas\, where people know how to spell her accented name and her mother helps her figure out what to do with her life. Once she finally starts pursuing her passion for writing\, Yasmín finds herself processing her grief by painting a portrait of her Ita\, a resilient matriarch who was far from being a stereotypical abuelita. She remembers coming along to watch boxing matches at a dive bar as a child\, Ita wistfully singing old Mexican classics\, her mastectomy scar\, and of course\, her lesson on how to properly ball your fist for a good punch. Interviewing her mom and older sister\, Yasmín learns even more about why her Ita was so tough–the abusive men\, the toil of almost-literally back-breaking jobs\, and the guilt of abortions that went against her culture. \nExpertly blending the lyrical prose of a gifted author with the down-to-earth\, conversational remarks of a close friend\, this debut memoir marks Ramírez as a talented new author to watch. Her honesty in self-reflection\, especially about periods where she felt directionless\, and her vivid depictions of a mother and grandmother that persevered through a lot of hard knocks\, offers vulnerable solidarity to readers who’ve had hard knocks of their own. \nParticipants will have the opportunity to discuss the book with the author and consider classroom applications. \nWHEN: Wednesday\, April 3\n7:00-8:00 pm Eastern\n6:00-7:00 pm Central\n5:00 – 6:00 pm Mountain\n4:00-5:00 pm Pacific \nWHERE: This event will take place on Zoom. After registering\, participants will receive an email with the Zoom link for the event. \nSPONSORS: This webinar is sponsored by the Américas Award through The Consortium of Latin American Studies Programs (CLASP) \nREGISTRATION & MORE INFORMATION: Registration is required for this event. REGISTER HERE: https://forms.gle/QLh2z8V7LDa5Ri8m9 \nAfter registering\, you will receive an email on April 1 with the Zoom link for the event. \nFor questions\, please reach out to Katrina Dillon at kedillon@arizona.edu. \nBe on the lookout for follow up emails regarding the rest of the series of Global Reads Webinars April – June! Each webinar will feature a different World Area Book Award!

SUMMARY:DEADLINE - Engaging Eurasia Teacher Fellowship 2024/25: Explorations of Identity in Russia and Eurasia
DESCRIPTION:Are you an educator who is interested in deepening your understanding of the history\, culture and current events of Russia and Eurasia? Consider applying for the Engaging Eurasia Teacher Fellowship! \nApplications for the 2024-2025 fellowship year\, which is devoted to the theme Explorations of Identity in Russian & Eurasian Studies\, are now open. The application deadline is May 1\, 2024.\nThis year-long study will take a multidisciplinary approach to understanding identity in Eurasia. The fellowship will allow participants to take a deep dive into the complex nature of identity\, how it is created and perceived\, how it changes\, and how it can be politicized and polarized. The monthly webinars will help contextualize historically the many aspects that contribute to identity\, ranging from topics like nationality\, ethnicity\, gender\, sexuality\, and race. Fellows will consider novels\, poetry\, art\, film\, and other media that both shape perspective and cultural identity as well as how identity is viewed and interpreted globally. They will also be asked to challenge their own assumptions and commonly held beliefs about identity and culture in Eurasia. \nOver the 9-month fellowship\, fellows will participate in 8 content webinars\, hearing from scholars with expertise on the fellowship topic. Each fellow is expected to complete a final project–either curriculum development or a literature review on a question that develops during the course of the fellowship.\nFor more information and to apply\, please visit: https://www.ucis.pitt.edu/creees/outreach/teacher-fellowship

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.

SUMMARY:DEADLINE - Summer Institute for Global Educators 2024: Educating for Global Resilience
DESCRIPTION:The 2024 Summer Institute offers a free\, week-long professional development opportunity with additional stipends for K-12 educators. The institute combines joint sessions with self-selected tracks that balance interactive activities with time for individual research while prioritizing support for the design of high-quality curricular materials. Tracks 1 and 3 below require individual applications\, while Track 2 requires a working group (of 2-4 teachers) application. All sessions will be held virtually. \nGlobal conflicts\, climate change\, and unequal development challenge both societal and personal resilience by causing displacement\, restricting resources\, and counteracting efforts for a renewable world. Whether in urban or rural areas\, people across the world grapple with creating sustainable livelihoods\, ecosystems\, social infrastructures\, and economies. If resilience can be defined as the competence to reduce precarity during a crisis and build a more thriving society after\, how can we best encourage students to learn about and become agents for global resilience? \nTracks Offered: \n“Building Resilience in the Classroom”\nAcknowledging the various challenges that educators and their students face today\, this track will introduce content and strategies to empower participants with helpful tools to better engage and help their students. From understanding the “new normal” of remote instruction and learning\, to existential threats to society such as climate change\, to the rapidly changing EdTech landscape with the recent acceleration of AI tools\, sessions will focus on growth mindset strategies\, critical thinking\, and problem-solving skills\, and help to develop a global perspective on mental health and well-being. \nInterdisciplinary Global Educators Working Group (IGE)\nEducators will work collaboratively to draw on the expertise of colleagues at their schools and will model collaborative learning for their students by producing a deliverable in the form of a globalized unit\, lesson\, or module. Examples of proposed group projects could include Science and French language teachers teaming up to offer a lesson on global warming in the Francophone world; or Art\, English\, and Social Studies teachers collaboratively developing a unit on responses to the global refugee crisis in art and literature. Apply as a team of 2-4 teachers from different subject areas from the same school. \n“Teaching Global Conflicts”\nThis track fosters an understanding of conflicts and peace-building through education. Sessions will illustrate the critical role of education in addressing and mitigating global conflicts\, with a specific emphasis on the unique challenges and opportunities presented by conflicts across various world regions.  Educators will delve into strategies for promoting peace\, understanding\, and reconciliation through educational initiatives. Educators will be empowered to effectively navigate sensitive topics\, engage students in meaningful discussions\, and cultivate a generation of global citizens committed to peace-building in societies and beyond.
