From Our Classrooms to Yours: East Asian Case Studies in Human Geography: Population, Migration, and Innovation
Matthew Sudnik (September 21; 7:00-8:30 p.m. EDT)
How do you teach about East Asia or use the many outstanding classroom resources of NCTA if you do not teach an Asian Studies course? Over the past ten years of my association with NCTA, I have incorporated Asia content and case studies into general history, social studies, and humanities classes. During this workshop, I would like to share three examples from my AP Human Geography class:
* Population and Demographic Transition through a comparison of Japan’s declining birth rates with Northern India
* Migration of Chinese workers from villages to cities - Factory Girls, Girls on the Line, and Ai Wei Wei's documentary Human Flow.
* Innovation in North and South Korea: a tale of two industrializations
Matthew Sudnik is the History Department Chair at The Madeira School in McLean, Virginia. He previously served as Director of the Scholars Program at Central Catholic High School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Matthew has taught courses in World History, Human Geography, Philosophy, and Humanities. He completed his NCTA 30-hour Seminar in 2010 at the University of Pittsburgh and traveled with NCTA on study tours to China (2011), Japan (2012, 2017), and Taiwan (2019). He is also currently the workshop coordinator for NCTA in Northern Virginia, a program of the NCTA coordinating site at the University of Colorado.
