A Digital Portfolio (ePortfolio) is required for all students completing area or global studies certificates. The ePortfolio will help you synthesize your experiences inside and outside the classroom to demonstrate your understanding of world regions and global issues. You will also learn how to use the ePortfolio in future job and graduate school applications!

Join us for an engaging K-12 curriculum resource workshop in which we examine the island of Taiwan's rich and compelling historical narrative as well as the important role it plays in today's geopolitical and economic landscape. This workshop will also include strategies for incorporating the study of Taiwan into the K-12 classroom with the award-winning interactive curriculum resource website, Centering Taiwan in Global Asia. A PDF of online resources will also be provided to all participants.

The first hour of the workshop will be dedicated to properly archiving and analysing the results of an oral interview, with a particular focus on the opportunities and challenges that researchers face when doing oral history work in Central Asia. The second half of the workshop will be spent grappling with topics of accessibility, safety, complex insider-outsider positionally, multilingual note-taking, and translation, with a focus on the instructor's experience taking oral histories in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous region.

Are you looking to take your job application to the next level? We will teach you how to make your resume and cover letter stand out, ace your interview, and showcase your skills and experience in the best way.
