People on the Move: Global Migration in the Past and Present

The movement of people across international borders during moments of political, social, and economic upheaval is a recurring theme around the world.  In this workshop, participants will explore major aspects of large-scale human migration, including refugees and political exiles, labor migration, undocumented migration, and political, economic, and social responses to immigration.

Content for this session relates specifically to secondary standards for Government, US, and World History courses as well as a variety of community college offerings. Topics for deep study include: how immigration is changing American life, how migration is impacting European-Africa relations, the global refugee crisis, and immigration policy in Russia and Eurasia.

 

Pedagogical focus: Evolving Your Hypothesis

Participants will learn to create central historical questions and sets of competing primary documents to create and experience for students to modify and hone their hypothesis and expectations of historical events over the course of a lesson.  They will learn both a discussion and a writing-based structure that teachers can use many times over the course of any unit or year.

Two hours of post workshop pedagogical follow-up is required to earn CEUs for this course.

This course is not affiliated with the Stanford History Education Group.
