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:GeoCircle: Best Strategies for Teaching Political Geography
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nWelcome to our GeoCircle for The Best Strategies for teaching Political Geography. We hope you will join us for a great chat on how to engage students and deliver content. Whether you are teaching on-level Geography in Middle School or High School or teaching AP Human Geography\, this topic is always challenging. Come to gain new ideas for content and/or share your best strategies. Come ready to participate so we can all help one another. See you soon! \nAbout the Facilitator\nJeanne Shin-Cooper is an AP Human Geography teacher at Buffalo Grove High School\, located in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Serving as an educational consultant and exam reader for the course\, she has experience helping new and seasoned teachers across the country develop curriculum. Having traveled to over 25 countries\, she has witnessed various geopolitical issues and border conflicts\, including a visit to Panmunjom situated between North and South Korea. Her favorite lesson to teach in Unit 4 is Topic 4.4\, Types of Political Boundaries. \nMatt Poleski has been teaching for 15 years at his alma mater\, including 13 years teaching AP Human Geography. He graduated with his teaching degree from the University of Nevada – Las Vegas (UNLV) and earned his master’s degree in GIS from Elmhurst College in Illinois. He has been an AP Reader for seven years and also taught as an adjunct professor at Elmhurst College for five years. He is passionate about incorporating technology into the classroom and creating opportunities for his students to “do” geography. He belongs to the Geographic Alliance in Nevada (GAIN)\, National Council for Geographic Education (NCGE) and American Geographic Society (AGS) and served as one of the AGS Teacher Fellows in 2019 and 2024. \nAbout GeoCircles and Join the Circle Session
