Applications are now being accepted for the OIA Area Studies Centers' 2023-2024 K-14 Global Fellowship Program.
This year’s Global Fellowship Program will focus on women’s rights and issues across the globe. Participating educators will explore the histories and accomplishments of feminist activists in Africa, East Asia, Eastern Europe and Eurasia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Topic sessions will discuss historical and contemporary women’s issues unique to each region and their intersectionality with other identities, and what activists are doing to create change so that educators can leave with a better understanding of such movements that are not centered in the Western world. 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.
This program will consist of one pre-program orientation, 4-5 regional topic lectures, and one pedagogy session. Sessions will take place on select Saturdays during the academic year from 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. EST online via Zoom (with the exception of the shorter orientation session).
