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:Memory & Monuments Across the Contemporary Middle East: Empires\, Nations\, and Environments
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nHow can engagements with the past both consolidate and challenge the power of state authorities? This presentation answers that question through a survey of monuments and memory across the contemporary Middle East. Drawing on case studies from places including Turkey\, Egypt\, Israel/Palestine\, Algeria\, and Saudi Arabia\, this talk describes the many forms that memory can take. It argues that although some of these struggles over memory are specific to the region of the Middle East\, many of the lessons they teach have much wider resonance in the context of global struggles over history\, justice\, and citizenship. \nAudience Focus\nAll grade levels \nMeet the Presenter\nTimur Hammond is an associate professor in the Geography and the Environment Department at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. He received a Ph.D. and M.A. in geography from the University of California\, Los Angeles (2016\, 2010)\, and a B.A. in English/creative writing from the University of North Carolina\, Chapel Hill (2005). Prior to joining the faculty at Syracuse University\, he worked in the Department of Geography at the University of Vermont. Trained as an urban and cultural geographer\, his research draws on archival and ethnographic methods to explore the intersection between urban experience and cultural identity\, with a particular focus on 20th century Turkey. He has published widely on a variety of topics\, including his 2023 monograph Placing Islam: Geographies of Connection in 20th Century Istanbul\, and articles on translation\, the politics of memory\, and the geographies of religion. \nAccess the Webinar\n#Open access | Join Webinar Here \nNot yet a member?  More info and Join today!
