Global Issues Through Literature Series -- Marginalized Voices in Global Context: Centering Overlooked Narratives in Literature

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

This reading group for K-16 educators explores literary texts from a global perspective. Content specialists present the work and its context, and participants brainstorm innovative pedagogical practices for incorporating the text and its themes into the curriculum. Sessions this year will take place in a hybrid format, with virtual and in-person discussions taking place on Thursday evenings from 5-8 PM (EST). A copy of the book and 3 Act 48 credit hours are provided for each session. Contact Maja Konitzer with questions at majab@pitt.edu.

Note: We are able to fund and distribute books to registrants as funding allows. Registration will remain open after this amount is reached. Registrants will be notified if we are unable to provide them with the reading material.
