This will be an informative session featuring speakers from various English teaching ventures, including JET, Fulbright, and others. The speakers will share how they developed an interest in teaching English outside the United States and discuss their experiences. We’re expecting a diverse group of attendees, ranging from those just beginning to explore opportunities to those preparing for or already engaged in teaching abroad.
The session will cover various aspects of teaching English in different cultural contexts, including preparing lesson plans, understanding student needs, and navigating life in a foreign country.
Some key topics we hope to address include:
1. Understanding the cultural nuances and challenges of teaching in non-English-speaking countries.
2. Exploring different teaching methods and resources effective in international classrooms.
3. Navigating visas, work permits, and the logistical aspects of teaching abroad.
4. Creating a fulfilling and sustainable career while living in another country.
5. We are also inviting students from regional campuses so they can have the opportunity to learn from this event as well.

The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recently predicted that global average temperatures will rise 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels in the mid-2030s. Over the last decades, a global network of scholars, policy makers, activists, and others have organized to offer ways to mitigate and even reverse the effects of climate change. What offramps can these solutions and movements offer our collective humanity?
“Eurasian Environments” seeks to provide some reflections to mark the UN’s 2024 Climate Change Conference in Baku, Azerbaijan. This series will examine social justice and sustainability efforts to address climate change by putting scholars of Eurasia in conversation with their peers specializing on Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe. The series will comprise six events that will illuminate the challenges and possible solutions to climate change in Eurasia in regional and global contexts.
