We are excited to announce the 2022-23 Global Issues Through Literature Series (GILS)! Join us starting in October 20, 2022 as we explore Graphic Novels in Global Context: Social Justice through Illustration and Text. Full list of titles and authors coming soon!
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. Contact Maja Konitzer with questions at majab@pitt.edu.
Please note: We are able to fund and distribute books to registrants as funding allows. Registration will remain open after this amount is reached. Registrants will be notified if we are unable to provide them with the reading material.
