Through examining geopolitical theories from a critical geopolitical lens it is possible to help put world events into more of a geographic perspective. By teaching students to break about arguments and critique the usage of geopolitical theories to justify actions, we can help students be critical consumers of knowledge and help them form their own opinions of current events. A case study of the historical foundations and ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine will be discussed within the context of geopolitical theories before expanding into further discussions of the relevance of theories in understanding other world events. Information about classical and critical approaches to geopolitics will be presented along with teaching strategies for implementation.<\/p>\n<h4>Session Focus<\/h4>\n<p>Secondary\/High School | Political Geography | Current Events | Geopolitics | World\/International Focus<\/p>\n<h4>Conference Room<\/h4>\n<p>Joshua Tree<\/p>\n<h4>Meet the Presenters<\/h4>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-14871 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/ncge.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Tredinnick.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"131\" height=\"131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ncge.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Tredinnick.png 300w, https:\/\/ncge.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Tredinnick-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 131px) 100vw, 131px\" \/>Kyle Tredinnick<\/strong> is a high school teacher for Omaha Public Schools, and works with the University of Nebraska system and the Geographic Educators of Nebraska.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"teaching-geopolitical-theories-through-current-events","image":false,"all_day":false,"start_date":"2024-10-19 09:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2024","month":"10","day":"19","hour":"09","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2024-10-19 09:45:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2024","month":"10","day":"19","hour":"09","minutes":"45","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2024-10-19 16:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2024","month":"10","day":"19","hour":"16","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2024-10-19 16:45:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2024","month":"10","day":"19","hour":"16","minutes":"45","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/Phoenix","timezone_abbr":"MST","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"$","currency_code":"USD","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":false,"show_map_link":false,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Conference Sessions","slug":"conference-sessions","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":107,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":147,"filter":"raw","id":107,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/ncge.org\/staging\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/107","collection":"https:\/\/ncge.org\/staging\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[{"name":"Annual Conference","slug":"annual-conference","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":89,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":136,"filter":"raw","id":89,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/ncge.org\/staging\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags\/89","collection":"https:\/\/ncge.org\/staging\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags"}},{"name":"Saturday Morning Session","slug":"saturday-morning-session","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":114,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":48,"filter":"raw","id":114,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/ncge.org\/staging\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags\/114","collection":"https:\/\/ncge.org\/staging\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags"}}],"venue":{"id":17210,"author":"9","status":"publish","date":"2024-08-06 16:20:12","date_utc":"2024-08-06 20:20:12","modified":"2024-08-06 16:20:12","modified_utc":"2024-08-06 20:20:12","url":"https:\/\/ncge.org\/staging\/venue\/mission-palms-coference-room-joshua-tree\/","venue":"Mission Palms Coference Room: Joshua Tree","slug":"mission-palms-coference-room-joshua-tree","json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"Mission Palms Coference Room: Joshua Tree","description":"","url":"https:\/\/ncge.org\/staging\/venue\/mission-palms-coference-room-joshua-tree\/","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress"},"telephone":"","sameAs":""},"show_map":false,"show_map_link":false,"global_id":"ncge.org\/staging?id=17210","global_id_lineage":["ncge.org\/staging?id=17210"]},"organizer":[{"id":8816,"author":"9","status":"publish","date":"2021-10-11 15:18:22","date_utc":"2021-10-11 19:18:22","modified":"2021-10-11 15:18:22","modified_utc":"2021-10-11 19:18:22","url":"https:\/\/ncge.org\/staging\/organizer\/national-council-for-geography-education\/","organizer":"National Council for Geography Education","slug":"national-council-for-geography-education","json_ld":{"@type":"Person","name":"National Council for Geography Education","description":"","url":"","telephone":"","email":"","sameAs":""},"global_id":"ncge.org\/staging?id=8816","global_id_lineage":["ncge.org\/staging?id=8816"]}],"custom_fields":[],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"Teaching Geopolitical Theories through Current Events","description":"&lt;p&gt;Overview This session will open up the discussion of the relevance of framing classroom conversations of global events within a lens of geopolitics.
