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:Backyard Geography Field Trips
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nGetting permission for off campus field trips can be a hassle. Avoid liability\, cost\, and transportation issues by using your own campus setting for backyard field trips. Show students geographic concepts firsthand – even on the most urban of campuses! Receive pointers for connecting physical\, cultural\, and locational features that you may have missed. The last ten minutes of the session will be devoted to the group sharing what campus locations they use to discuss geography concepts. \nAbout the Presenter\nMark Francek is currently professor of Geography and Environmental Studies at Central Michigan University. He teaches courses in physical geography\, soil science\, and earth science education. Mark is a passionate believer that the best instruction grows out of building classroom community\, holding students accountable for their learning\, and showing students the relevance of geography to their everyday lives. \nAccess the Webinar\nMember only | Join Webinar Here \nNot yet a member?  More info and Join today!
