Every Spring, the Center for African Studies at the University of Pittsburgh hosts the Africa in the Classroom Workshop to bring together K-12 educators in developing curriculum for teaching about Africa in schools. All teachers, administrators, students, librarians, and community members are welcome. Whether you are an expert on teaching Africa, or this is the first time you have considered it, the Africa in the Classroom Workshop is for you! Participating teachers can gain credit hours toward continuing professional education requirements (AP2).

The impact of Russia’s war against Ukraine can be felt far outside the actual battlefield. Modern war disproportionately affects gender and sexual minorities, something we are seeing in Ukraine even as Putin's anti-LGBTQ+ agenda seeks to relentlessly drive support for the war at home. How can a queer-studies focus advance conversations about decolonization in East European and Eurasian Studies? To address this question, Queer Focus will have six virtual panels featuring speakers from various disciplines and institutions. Panelists and participants will explore how gendered regimes were constitutive of Russo-centric relationships of power, defining the region and how we study it, as we collectively grapple with what it means to re-examine our current research, teaching, and institutional practices.
