In the fourth installment of the Global Issues Through Literature Series (GILS), educators will convene to discuss Hunter School by author Sakinu Ahronglong.
This year's theme is: Marginalized Voices in Global Context: Centering Overlooked Narratives in Literature
This reading group for K-16 educators explores literary texts from a global perspective. Content specialists present the work and its context, and participants brainstorm innovative pedagogical practices for incorporating the text and its themes into the curriculum. Sessions this year will take place in a hybrid format, with virtual and in-person discussions taking place on Thursday evenings from 5-8 PM (EST). A copy of the book and 3 Act 48 credit hours are provided for each session.
