A professional development workshop for educators organized by the Global Studies Outreach Committee.
Please note the application deadline for this program has passed.
This four-day intensive summer workshop will focus on the social, economic, and political factors involved in the growth of global human migration during the 20th and 21st centuries. Highlighted by the transatlantic migrations of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and continuing with the burst of population movement after 1945, human migration in the contemporary era has an inherently global nature. The movement of people across borders continues to reshape the political, cultural, economic and social spheres of nations throughout every world region, while creating new transnational communities and interdependencies between previously disparate peoples and states. Geared toward middle school, high school, and community college educators in the humanities and social sciences (but open to educators in all subjects), this workshop will feature presentations by scholars and experts in the study of human migration, as well as an introduction to relevant classroom resources.
