SUMMARY:Teaching Geopolitical Theories through Current Events
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThis session will open up the discussion of the relevance of framing classroom conversations of global events within a lens of geopolitics. Through examining geopolitical theories from a critical geopolitical lens it is possible to help put world events into more of a geographic perspective. By teaching students to break about arguments and critique the usage of geopolitical theories to justify actions\, we can help students be critical consumers of knowledge and help them form their own opinions of current events. A case study of the historical foundations and ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine will be discussed within the context of geopolitical theories before expanding into further discussions of the relevance of theories in understanding other world events. Information about classical and critical approaches to geopolitics will be presented along with teaching strategies for implementation. \nSession Focus\nSecondary/High School | Political Geography | Current Events | Geopolitics | World/International Focus \nConference Room\nJoshua Tree \nMeet the Presenters\nKyle Tredinnick is a high school teacher for Omaha Public Schools\, and works with the University of Nebraska system and the Geographic Educators of Nebraska.
