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! (https://thisishell.com/episodes/1770). \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!
