Here you can find previous ARNCTA events and their resources. These lists have been created with the help of our collaborators and speakers for teachers interested in implementing the workshop content into their classroom curriculums, and all of the resources are free and easy to use. As we host more events moving forward, we will update this compilation to offer more resources.
"Asia Across the Curriculum: Encountering Asia in Wellness, Science, Music, and Art" October 2022
October 7th through the 8th we hosted our series of pedagogical workshops "Asia Across the Curriculum: Encountering Asia in Wellness, Science, Music, and Art" in conjunction with the Southwest Conference on Asian Studies. The event was a success, with renowned scholars of Asia teaching the educators and teacher candidates in attendance multidisciplinary ways of engaging Asia in their classrooms. Check out our summary of the event here!
"Traveling the Silk Road: Culture & Commerce in Medieval Asia" June 2022
Join us on a tour of the diverse cultures, kingdoms, merchants, and monks who forged lasting connections between Asia and the rest of world over 1000 years ago. Drawing on cutting-edge research and diverse, multimedia teaching resources, these workshop materials equip teachers with the sources and perspectives necessary to immerse students in one of the most important early forms of cultural exchange, highlighting the important connections to our contemporary global world.
The “Three Teachings” of Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism first emerged in China thousands of years ago, but their influence can still be felt today in many aspects of East Asian culture, politics, and society today. Moreover, scholarly perspectives on the origins, development, and lasting influence of the Three Teachings have continued to grow and evolve. These resources explore these religio-philosophical schools, their individual worldviews, how they have coexisted, and their lasting influence on East Asia and the world.
Since 2017, the Chinese government has imprisoned over 1 million Uyghur Muslims in what has become the largest mass internment of an ethnic group since World War II. Currently, around 11 million Uyghurs live in China’s northwestern Xinjiang province, and Chinese government policies targeting Uyghur communities in the name of combating “religious extremism” have drawn condemnation from foreign governments and human rights organizations around the world. These resources provide context and teaching strategies for integrating a discussion of the ongoing Uyghur crisis into social studies classrooms.
"Teaching China in the Age of Covid-19" October 2020
Covid-19 has led to a troubling rise in anti-Asian racism, as historical prejudices collide with new strains of misinformation that threaten the lives and livelihoods of Asian American communities, while simultaneously transforming the geopolitical relationship between the United States and China. This resource compilation, based on our event "Teaching China in the Age of Covid-19," provides teachers with online readings and resources, classroom strategies, and practical advice for addressing Covid-19 in their (physical or virtual) classrooms in ways that expand our understanding of the global community.
