H-ASIA December 8, 2010 Call for papers: Educators for Teaching India 2011 Conference, Cambridge, Mass., April 29, 2011 (x-post H-World) ************************************************************************ From: Kristin Hayward Strobel <kstrobel@sch.ci.lexington.ma.us>: EDUCATORS FOR TEACHING INDIA 2011 CONFERENCE MAHATMA GANDHI: BEYOND THE LEGEND Educators for Teaching India (EFTI) is an organization made up of teachers and professors with an interest in furthering their knowledge of South Asia. EFTI is sending out a call for proposals for their 3rd annual Conference which will be held on April 29, 2011 at the South Asia Initiative, Harvard University, 1730 Cambridge Street, Cambridge Massachusetts. The theme this year is Gandhi: Beyond the Legend. The keynote speaker will be Rajmohan Gandhi, who has written widely on the Indian independence movement, Indo-Pakistan relations, as well as on human rights and conflict resolution. He is a biographer and grandson of Mahatma Gandhi and the President of Initiatives of Change (IofC). As in past years, through workshops presented by teams or individual teachers, we seek to build on the substance provided by our keynote and share easily adapted tools for use in our classrooms. Some ideas for workshop proposals may include: What was Gandhi's role in the Indian Independence Movement? How do we separate the "real" Gandhi from the "legend"? Where does Gandhi fit in a social studies curriculum? Gandhi's legacy in American or World History? What are some key resources or pedagogies that have worked for you in addressing Gandhi's legacy? Service learning according to Gandhian principles in the US and abroad. Proposals due January 15th, 2011. Please contact info@teachingindia.org for the workshop proposal form.
