"Teaching Women's History in Asia" is a virtual pedagogical workshop series to celebrate Women's History Month. Register here!

ARNCTA Celebrates 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 will provide participants with crucial context and concrete strategies for centering women and Asia in their classrooms. Come to a single event, or attend all three to receive a free packet of books and curriculum materials.

WHEN: Thursdays in March (March 2, 9, 16) 4:00pm - 5:00pm
WHERE: Virtual via Zoom: https://uca-edu.zoom.us/j/85645986572
