Saturday, February 11th | 11 AM - 2 PM EST | Posvar Hall and Zoom
The focus of this workshop will be on helping educators develop global studies into their curriculum by specifically thinking about incorporating issues around planetary warming as a theme (and its global intersectionality with racism, public health, biospecies extinction, and access to natural resources).
