Applications are now being accepted for the OIA Area Studies Centers' 2024-2025 K-14 Global Fellowship Program.
This year’s Global Fellowship Program will focus on Indigenous peoples across the globe. Participating educators will explore the histories and challenges faced by Indigenous groups in Africa, East Asia, Eastern Europe and Eurasia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Regional topic sessions will help to expand teachers’ and students’ knowledge about Indigenous peoples outside of North America, their histories and cultures, their interactions with others, and the issues they face in their respective regions. By attending this program, participants will receive historical background and resources on this topic so that they can teach and discuss this subject with their students in their own classrooms.
Format
This program will consist of one pre-program orientation in early September, 4-5 regional topic lectures during October through March, and one pedagogy session in April. Sessions will take place on select Saturdays during the academic year from 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. EST online via Zoom. The program dates will be released in August 2024.
