Join this half-day workshop to explore Barbie and other selected films that became controversial in Southeast Asia because of territorial disputes. Participants will increase their knowledge of the history and geography of Southeast Asia and learn how to use pop culture as a jump-off point for a broader discussion on race, culture, geography, and history.
Eligibility
This free workshop is open to Colorado middle school and high school teachers, with priority to those teaching social studies (including history and geography). Limited to 20 participants.
Benefits
