Workshops
This caption describes the image above.
On a regular basis, teacher workshops on various aspects of global studies are sponsored by the Center and by Hemispheres, the international outreach consortium, which is a collaborative partnership of the five Title-VI funded area studies centers on the University of Texas campus, representing Latin America; the Middle East; Russia, Eastern Europe and Eurasia; South Asia; and Western & Central Europe.
A limited number of these workshops can be offered each semester, and are intended for presentation to groups of educators at school districts or regional service centers. If you are interested in learning more about hosting a workshop, please contact Arielle Levin, Outreach Program Coordinator.
- Past workshops have included:
An Introduction to the Middle East
In 2007, the CMES outreach program introduced a set of day long workshops for educators entitled “An Introduction to the Middle East.” The workshops were developed in conjunction with the Region XIII Educational Service Center of the Texas Education Agency in Austin, and are specifically intended to assist social studies educators in expanding their background knowledge about Southwest Asia and North Africa.
