K-14 Professional Development Courses: Global Issues, Local Impacts

Stanford Global Studies and the Center to Support Excellence in Teaching present a series of virtual workshops that offers teachers the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of key topics of current relevance and hone their pedagogical expertise in collaboration with leading Stanford scholars. This series is comprised of three virtual workshops. You may enroll in individual workshops for $199, or sign up for all three for only $500.

Identity and Citizenship

February 26-28, 2021 | Virtual Workshop
Where does the idea of citizenship come from? And what does it mean to be a "good" citizen? How are identities wrapped up in citizenship status? What are the paths to citizenship as both an identity and a legal status? Who decides who’s in and who’s out? How do multiple identities fit in with a concept of citizenship? When citizenship becomes a reigning identity category, how have governments and peoples conceptualized stateless individuals who claim citizenship to nowhere?

This workshop will explore citizenship as a legal category, an identity marker, and a product of history. It will also examine how citizenship can be both a privilege and a burden. Learn more about the Identity and Citizenship course.

Rising Up: Movements for Change

April 16-18, 2021 | Virtual Workshop
Movements for change take many forms including civil disobedience, sustained armed conflict, coups, protests, and revolutions. This workshop explores the complex and often misunderstood origins, methods, and outcomes of movements around the globe historically and today. Why do revolutions succeed or fail? What transforms a protest into a revolution? What are the legacies of anti-colonial movements and key demands of anti-capitalist movements? What roles have student protests played?

A closer examination of historical movements provides lessons and lenses for understanding contemporary contestations. Learn more about the Rising Up: Movements for Change course.

The Resurgence of Great Power Politics

June 16-18, 2021 | Virtual Workshop
Recent years have seen a revival of great power politics with states shifting from more of a cooperative stance to an increasingly competitive posture. Internally this has been accompanied by a rise in nationalism and a shift towards autocracy. This dynamic harkens back to a century ago when Great Power competition culminated in the outbreak of the First World War. This workshop will examine current relations between states in various hotspots around the globe and contextualize them in light of their historical roots and contemporary dynamics.

It also will consider the implications of this revived interstate competition for universal ideals and movements like human rights. Learn more about The Resurgence of Great Power Politics course.
