SUMMARY:Geographies of Genocide: Why Geography matters in conducting Genocidal Campaigns in the Modern Era
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nGeography education goes a long way in understanding why\, where\, and how genocides occur. In my teaching\, I stress the geopolitical circumstances behind the occurrence of genocides and how the landscape adds to the uniqueness of each genocide. For this webinar\, I discuss why and when to teach about genocides and human rights in Geography classrooms; demonstrate the teaching of genocides case study\, regional\, thematic\, and other approaches; and offer lesson ideas\, resources\, and readings. \nAudience Focus\nHigh school/ post secondary \nMeet the Presenter\nTracey H Norrell\, PhD is currently a Senior Lecturer in the Geography and Sustainability Department at the University of Tennessee. She currently teaches courses in World Geography\, Migration\, Europe (including War and Society and Russia and its Neighbors) and two courses in Geography of Human Rights. This course over the years had to be split into two courses due to its popularity – the Americas and Africa and Europe and Asia. She is also the recipient of the 2022 National Council for Geographic Education Higher Ed Distinguished Teacher Award. \nAccess the Webinar\n#member only access | Join Webinar Here \nNot yet a member?  More info and Join today!

SUMMARY:Redlining is Only Part of the Story
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nRedlining\, some scholars contend\, has become a “narrative crutch” that obscures a much longer history of housing discrimination. Redlining didn’t create systemic racism in American housing patterns – it sanctioned it. Vulnerable communities still feel the impacts of this profitable disinvestment in vast and far-reaching ways. The perpetuation of racist residential patterns far exceeds the reach of government actors. Public and private actors are\, in many ways\, equally responsible for the spaces we do and do not inhabit to this day. This session will include a deep dive into new maps and resources added to “Mapping Inequality” and other related digital humanities projects\nfrom the University of Richmond’s Digital Scholarship Lab and New American History. Participants will have an opportunity to unpack\, understand\, and explore OER resources designed to help seek solutions in the modern era. \nAudience Focus\nAll grade levels \nMeet the Presenter\nAnnie Evans is the Director of Education and Outreach for New American History at the University of Richmond. Annie is a National Geographic Society Grosvenor Teacher Fellow\, a NatGeo Certified Educator and Trainer\, and Co-Coordinator of the Virginia Geographic Alliance. With over 30 years of classroom and educational leadership experience\, she designs digital humanities curricula\, and facilitates professional learning for K-16 teachers and museum educators\, focusing on Historical Thinking Skills\, GeoLiteracy\, Instructional Coaching\, Project-Based Learning\, and Performance Assessments. She hopes New American History will inspire the next generation of public historians\, history educators\, and civic leaders. \nAccess the Webinar\n#member only access | Join Webinar Here \nNot yet a member?  More info and Join today!

SUMMARY:The Cost of Borders
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nBorders\, rather than markers of sovereign territory\, are marketplaces comprised of always costly\, and often deadly transactions. Moving from Lesbos\, to Gaza\, to Tijuana\, the project shows how the costs of borders\, patterned by inequalities of racism\, sexism\, and disability\, fluctuate over time and space\, and differ depending on who is attempting to cross. \nAudience Focus\nAll grade levels \nMeet the Presenter\nHeba Gowayed (pronounced HEH-buh go-WAY-ed)\, is a writer and sociologist. She is an Associate Professor of Sociology at CUNY Hunter College & Graduate Center. Her research and writing centers the lives of people who migrate across borders and the unequal and often violent institutions they face. \nHer award-winning book Refuge\, published with Princeton University Press\, takes readers into the lives of displaced Syrians who sought refuge in the US\, Canada\, and Germany. Their experiences reveal that these destination countries are not saviors; they can deny newcomers’ potential by failing to recognize their abilities and invest in the tools they need to prosper. She is currently working on a second book\, The Cost of Borders that argues borders\, rather than markers of sovereign territory\, are marketplaces comprised of always costly\, and often deadly transactions. Moving from Lesbos\, to Gaza\, to Tijuana\, the project shows how the costs of borders\, patterned by inequalities of racism\, sexism\, and disability\, fluctuate over time and space\, and differ depending on who is attempting to cross. \nShe has also been featured on NPR’s Code Switch (https://www.npr.org/2022/05/24/1101055230/how-we-decide-who-is-worthy-of-welcome)\, the podcast This is Hell!

SUMMARY:Toxic Supply Chains of War in Iraq
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nTaking war as a toxic structure\, this talk begins at the belly of war\, in Fallujah\, Iraq — one of the most heavily bombarded cities in Iraq. Based on Rubaii’s ethnographic fieldwork between 2014 and 2023\, the talk traces weaponized metals from the sand and bodies of children in Fallujah back to their origins at war’s jaws: mineral mines in the DR Congo\, where such metals are extracted by artisanal miners for use by tech and weapons companies. The talk also follows the post-battle life of weaponized metals to its tail\, where these metals are recycled by Indian laborers in steel factories in Iraqi Kurdistan as a central part of the concrete industry\, or where they are destroyed in burn pits in Colfax\, Louisiana. At each site\, people are trapped in biochemically and socially toxic relations with components of weaponized earth. By tracing the toxic exposures people face at multiple sites of metal extraction\, weaponization\, reuse\, and disposal\, this talk identifies two key points in war’s long chain of supply: 1) it identifies the many bodies and people whose lives are ravaged by warfare far from the site and dates of documented battles\, and 2) it pinpoints locations in which further research may identify forensic sites of intervention in an increasingly diffuse network of corporate and contracted war-making. \nAudience Focus\nAll grade levels \nMeet the Presenter\nDr. Kali Rubaii is an assistant professor of Anthropology at Purdue University. Her work focuses on displacement\, health justice\, and the environmental impacts of war. Through forensic ethnography along the supply chains of war\, Rubaii documents the long-term material impacts of extractive industry and military violence on people’s lives. She is leading three projects on 1) how Iraq’s concrete industry is instrumental to militarized privatization in post-war reconstruction\, 2) how displaced communities travel to and from their land during episodes of military violence\, and 3) how the epidemic of congenital anomalies in Fallujah is understood as a figure of long-term\, intergenerational toxification. \nAccess the Webinar\n#member only access | Join Webinar Here \nNot yet a member?  More info and Join today!

SUMMARY:Spaceship in the Desert
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nIn 2006\, Abu Dhabi launched an ambitious project to construct the world’s first “zero-carbon” city: Masdar City. This talk investigates the construction of renewable energy and clean technology infrastructures in oil-rich Abu Dhabi as the era of abundant oil supplies slowly comes to an end. It explores the production of Masdar City in Abu Dhabi and shows how the Masdar City project was instrumental for economic diversification in the United Arab Emirates\, helping generate a “green” brand image. At the same time\, it demonstrates how the renewable energy and clean technology infrastructures of Masdar City fueled an aspiration for the manageability of ecological problems\, where business models and design solutions would contain and resolve climate change and energy scarcity without surrendering hope for increasing productivity and technological complexity. Focusing on iconic renewable energy and clean technology initiatives\, this talk responds to the debates on whether Masdar City and its multiple infrastructures were successes or failures and examines the potential of evolving projects. \nAudience\nHigh School | Advanced Placement | Higher Education \nMeet the Presenter\nGökçe Günel is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at Rice University\, focusing on energy and climate change in the Middle East and Africa. Her latest book Spaceship in the Desert: Energy\, Climate Change and Urban Design in Abu Dhabi\, released in 2019\, focuses on the construction of energy and clean technology infrastructure in the United Arab Emirates\, specifically on the Masdar City project\, a $22 billion project to construct the “world’s most sustainable eco-city”. She is currently working on a second book titled Energy Accumulation\, focused on a Turkish-built floating power plant in Ghana. \nAccess the Webinar\n#member only access | Join Webinar Here \nNot yet a member?  More info and Join today!

SUMMARY:Displacement and Belonging
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThis webinar explores the lived realities of Palestinian and Syrian refugees in Jordan\, with a particular focus on their senses of belonging to different places. By focusing on Jordan\, a Global South state that hosts among the largest number of refugees per capita\, this webinar highlights the human side of displacement and offers humanitarian options for managing refugee flows globally. \nThe Presenter\nKaren Culcasi is an Associate Professor of Geography at West Virginia University. Her research uses critical and feminist geopolitical frames to examine contested places and identities. Her work focuses on the “Middle East”\, the Arab World\, and Appalachia. She is the author of Displacing Territory: Syrian and Palestinian Refugees in Jordan. Based on fieldwork\, this book explores the lived experience of refugees and their sense of belonging to different places and territories. Currently\, Dr. Culcasi is currently working on two research projects: an archival research project on maps of the so-called “Middle East” and a project on Islamophobia and the daily lives of Muslims in West Virginia. \nAccess the Webinar\n#member only access | Join Webinar Here \nNot yet a member?  More info and Join today!

SUMMARY:How do We Explain Conflict? Evidence from Syria
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nWhile teaching about war and conflict is never an easy topic in the classroom\, it is important for young people to be exposed to geopolitics and understand the current events they see in the news. But how do we make sense of conflicts when we are inundated with competing explanations for why they start? In this webinar\, Daniel Neep will answer this question with reference to one of the most chronic – and most misunderstood – conflicts of the 21st century: the Syrian civil war. Is the enduring conflict in Syria best explained by the historical legacies of the past\, environmental disaster\, ethnic and religious rivalries\, or the failures of economic policy-making? The webinar will explore the factors that contributed to the conflict in Syria and analyze the lessons that can be drawn from it. \nAbout the Presenter\nDaniel Neep is a political scientist who works on conflict and state-building in the Middle East\, with a focus on Syria\, where he lived for five years prior to the uprising. Neep is the author of Occupying Syria: Insurgency\, Space\, and State Formation (Cambridge University Press\, 2012). He is currently finishing his second book\, The Nation Belongs to All: The Making of Modern Syria\, which explains Syria’s political development in terms of global transformations\, changing economic infrastructures\, emerging political geographies\, and waves of popular protest. His research has also been published in journals including International Affairs\, New Political Economy\, and the Journal of Historical Sociology. \nWebinar Access\n#member only access | Join Webinar Here \nNot yet a member?  More info and Join today! \n

SUMMARY:The Global History of the Tomato: A Perspective from the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nAlfred Crosby\, who coined the term “Columbian Exchange\,” wrote in 1972 that “there is no area in which the story of American foods is as obscure and yet as vital to the understanding of world history as in the Middle East.” Since then\, however\, the question of how foods like tomatoes and peppers made their way to and through the Middle East has not been a subject of much scholarly research. This webinar takes up the case of the tomato and explores multiple routes by which it may have traveled from present-day Mexico to Egypt\, where it transformed both cuisine and horticulture and became a cultural touchstone of Arab cuisine. The seminar aims to offer a new way to frame the geographies of the Columbian Exchange beyond the Atlantic. \nAbout the Presenter\n \nAnny Gaul is a cultural historian studying food and gender in the Middle East. She’s currently an assistant professor of Arabic Studies at the University of Maryland\, College Park\, where she teaches classes on the culture\, gender history\, literature\, and food of the Arabic-speaking world. She’s currently writing a book that tells the story of modern Egypt through a cultural history of the tomato. She has also taught at Georgetown and Tufts University\, works as a translator (from Arabic) and has a food blog at cookingwithgaul.com. Her Phd is from Georgetown and Anny has received awards and fellowships from the Fulbright program\, the Social Science Research Council\, the Council of American Overseas Research Centers\, the American Research Center in Egypt\, and the American Institute for Maghrib Studies. \n  \nWebinar Access\nMember only | Join Webinar Here \nNot yet a member?  More info and Join today!

SUMMARY:Hands-on Play Saves the Day: Play-Doh® and LEGO® in the Middle School Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nStudents of all ages can struggle to visualize three-dimensional landscapes from two-dimensional contour maps. This engagement effort in the middle school classroom incorporated hands-on play with Play-Doh® and LEGO® to reinforce student learning about topographic maps. Students constructed three-dimensional landscapes and further learned about how topographic data can be generated with drones. Findings suggest through pre- and post-test comparison that such efforts support student learning. \nPresenter\n \nDr. Adam Mathews is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography at Binghamton University (State University of New York). His teaching and research activities focus on geospatial technologies and methodologies (GIS\, remote sensing\, and drones) for geographic problem solving. He primarily teaches university students but has also engaged with a variety of K-12 groups and has published a children’s book entitled ABCs of Geography. \nWebinar Access\n#member only | Join Here

The ArcGIS Online Competition for US High School and Middle School Students is a good next step: students in grades 4-12 research a topic of interest in their state and craft a StoryMap about their findings. Students can dive into a personal\, custom project\, enter it into a state competition with $100 awards and national attention\, and build for the future of their community and themselves. Teachers can use it as a capstone for all\, launch a club\, or just introduce this and let them go. \nRegistration Required\n This webinar will be hosted and co-presented with the Esri teacher community.
