Approaches to Global Studies Pedagogies

Join Dr. Eve Darian-Smith as she leads this teaching workshop for K-16 educators. The focus of this workshop will be on helping educators develop global studies into their curriculum by specifically thinking about incorporating issues around planetary warming as a theme (and its global intersectionality with racism, public health, biospecies extinction, and access to natural resources). The workshop will be hybrid in Posvar Hall and Zoom. Room location is to be determined.
Dr. Darian-Smith serves as the Chair of the Department of Global and International Studies and is a professor of Global Studies at the University of California, Irvine. She has published several award-winning books focused on global issues. Trained as a lawyer, historian and anthropologist, Dr. Darian-Smith is a critical interdisciplinary scholar interested in issues of postcolonialism, human rights, legal pluralism, and socio-legal theory. Her current work focuses on authoritarianism and crises of democracy.
