C-GEO is partnering with the Classroom Law Project and the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde, to deliver this online institute. The institute will be mostly asynchronous with videos and podcasts, in which participants will be able to do at their own pace during the first couple of weeks in August. We will conclude with a couple of videoconferencing one hour videoconferencing sessions with geography education and civics experts on August 13th and 14th. Topics will include instruction on how to teach civics, including elements of tribal sovereignty, through a critical geographic lens.
Topics will include:
- Strategies on teaching elections and gerrymandering through maps
- Mapping women’s suffrage
- Civics and social movement around climate change
- Tribal sovereignty
- How to talk about controversial issues in the classroom
