The second in a series of annual workshops for educators on China in the World, the spring workshop at Washington State University in Spokane and the University of Washington in Seattle will feature China-Africa relations in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
Looking at this multifaceted relationship from multiple perspectives, the workshop will provide educators with a clear sense of the issues and their contexts so that they may follow and teach about current events with deeper understanding. Scholars of China and Africa studies will present on political, economic, and social issues, illuminating both the cooperative and controversial aspects of relations today.
The workshop will be held simultaneously in Spokane and Seattle using video conferencing technology. The fee to participate is $20 and includes resources and a meal. Three free clock hours are available. This event is sponsored by the East Asia Resource Center.
