ANCIENT ROOTS - MODERN STATES
A Summer Institute For Teachers
July 31 - August 4, 2000

(Professor Frederic Wakeman discussed the roots of Chinese history.)

As students in middle and high school expand their knowledge of world history, teachers are given the opportunity to introduce links between the historical and modern world. At the ORIAS summer institute forty teachers from over twenty districts in Northern California considered continuity in the history curriculum by spending a week with colleagues and University scholars looking at the legacies of historic conquest, colonialism, and myth in modern nation building.

The summer institute was co-sponsored by the Centers for African Studies, Latin American Studies, Middle Eastern Studies, South Asian Studies; The Institute of East Asian Studies; the Institute of Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies; the Institute of European Studies; and the International and Area Studies Teaching Program.
