Jul 9, 2024: International Studies Summer Institute: Plant and Animal Migration at Stocking Hall

Join the Cornell University Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies and the South Asia Center at Syracuse University for the 2024 International Studies Summer Institute (ISSI)! This year, we will explore plant and animal migration around the world and at home. ISSI is a professional development workshop for practicing and pre-service K–12 educators.

Participants will explore the patterns and causes of plant and animal migration in a global context, as well as how they affect and are affected by human society. Scholars from Cornell University and Syracuse University will share their research and expertise from across different regions of the world, including Africa, East Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.

Object-based learning will be a specific focus. Sessions will include an introduction to the Einaudi Center’s culture kits and how they can support hands-on learning about plant and animal migration in different countries. Culture kits are a collection of cultural artifacts from around the world, tailored for use in K-12 classrooms. We will also feature an overview of Latin American and East Asian artwork on these topics at the Johnson Museum of Art and an introduction to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s eBird kits.

Who Can Participate

We welcome practicing and pre-service K–12 educators of all subjects and grade levels who work in New York State. While this year's institute will have more of a scientific focus than in past years, we believe this year’s theme will benefit educators of all subject areas, especially in developing cross-disciplinary, project-based activities with a global focus.

Benefits

May 30, 2024: How to Assemble an AAS Panel

A workshop by GETSEA.

Have you always wanted to present a paper at the Association for Asian Studies annual meeting? But you can’t find a panel that fits your work, and you don’t know how to gather other scholars to create a panel of your own?

Join GETSEA for an informal discussion with Tom Pepinsky (Cornell), Trude Jacobsen Gidaszewski (NIU), and Chris Hulshof (Wisconsin-Madison) about the process of assembling a panel to submit to AAS.

After the discussion, we will move into breakout rooms for possible panel matchmaking. So, please come with a short description of the topic you are interested in presenting at AAS (a general idea is fine as well. It doesn’t need to be a finished proposal).
