JUNE 7-18, 2021: Global Teacher Seminar: “Global Social Justice, Activism, and Protests”

Who: K-12 educators (pre-service and in-service teachers, librarians, administrators)
Where: Virtual format via Zoom (synchronous)
When: June 7 – 11 and June 14 – 18, 2021: 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
What: This two-week seminar will inform K-12 educators about global social justice activism and protest movements by focusing on the regions of East Asia, Eastern Europe/Eurasia, Latin America, and the Middle East. The seminar will give participants a solid foundation in the relevant political, social, and historical theories in order to ground their understanding of protests and politics. Throughout the seminar, guest experts will present regional case studies to provide comparative perspectives of what are prominent current protest movements in their region of study (social justice, corruption, environment, etc.), what hurdles activists/protestors may experience when organizing demonstrations or events, the longer history and culture of protest in the particular region, how protestors and their movement are perceived in the larger population, and how the demands of activists/protestors are considered and/or met by policy makers and reverberate in the political sphere. Stipend for attending seminar and completing lesson plan.
