Join us for the 7th Annual Howard University/Georgetown University gathering for educators, librarians, and pre-service teachers. Howard’s Center for African Studies and School of Education, and Georgetown’s Center for Contemporary Arab Studies feature a workshop on the important topic of teaching about international migration and internal displacement through the lens of people’s experience. The sessions will feature authors of two award-winning books: Omar Mohamed, When Stars are Scattered, a graphic novel written from a child’s perspective on life in a Kenyan refugee camp, and George Butler, Drawn Across Borders: True Stories of Human Migration, illustrating a dozen places in the past decade by a wonderfully talented reportage artist. The session includes discussion of pedagogy and resources for classroom use around the topic of humanizing this widespread global issue. Attendees will receive a copy of both books through the Howard University Bookstore.
