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.
"Centering Southeast Asia: Teaching Modern Vietnam" June 2023
Once considered one of the world’s poorest and most underdeveloped nations, Vietnam has since flourished with major technological and structural advancements in the modern age.

"Teaching Women's History in Asia" March 2023
ARNCTA celebrated Women's History Month with a Three-Part Virtual Series, "Teaching Women's History in Asia." As folk heroes, religious icons, and wartime survivors, women have played crucial roles in shaping East Asian history, and their stories provide a vital window into the culture, society, and politics of China, Korea, and Japan. In this series, Asia scholars and specialists from around the region provided participants with crucial context, concrete strategies, and digital resources for centering women and Asia in their classrooms.

"Traveling the Silk Road: Culture & Commerce in Medieval Asia" June 2022


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.
