How have cities shaped past and presents societies in Latin America? How can we study history, art, literature, memory, and economics through the way cities are built, appropriated, and transformed in time?Intended primarily for high school and community college educators (but open to all interested parties), this workshop will incorporate perspectives from the social sciences, humanities, and architecture to explore cities, urban experience, and the built environment in Latin America. By approaching the city as “a living history textbook,” the workshop will discuss how Latin American cities can be lenses through which we can better understand the region’s history, politics, and arts and provide examples of how this can be translated into classroom instruction. The workshop will also explore how urban planning can change the way we approach urban problems such as inequality, violence, and poverty, and reflect on the challenges of creating cityscapes inspired by ideas of justice and tolerance.Organized by the Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Chicago and Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

ISI 2013- Global Citizens, Global Education, Global Competency: Global Context in the Classroom
Wednesday, June 12 – Saturday, June 15, 2013
What do school administrators mean when they refer to “educating global citizens” or “teaching 21st century skills”? If you don’t have ready answers or definitions for these terms, you’re not alone. This workshop will consider various definitions of global citizenship in the context of the U.S. and a globalizing world.Being a global citizen is not only about understanding other cultures but also understanding your own culture through the eyes of others. We’ll use a reflexive process, along with examples of international content, pedagogical discussions with peer educators, and hands-on activities for project-based learning.
Credit Participants will receive professional development credits.
Cost $100 non-refundable fee includes lodging, most meals, and materials.
Housing Lodging will be provided for out-of-town participants
Deadline Deadline for registration is May 15, 2012
