The Native Case Studies Teaching and Writing Workshop, to be held June 16-17 in Salt Lake City, will explore the use of place-based case studies as a teaching tool, with a particular focus on STEM, although the skills learned can be adopted to other disciplines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two-day event will examine best practices related to the use of case studies in a Native context. Presentations will address the integration of Indigenous knowledge and the benefits of using local examples. Participants will leave with skills needed to design and write their own case studies and use existing cases from a growing repository.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event, sponsored by the TCUP Hub, will be facilitated by Barbara Leigh Smith and Linda Moon Stumpff (San Carlos Apache), who in 2006 cofounded the Enduring Legacies Native Case Studies Initiative project as a partnership between The Evergreen State College, Northwest Indian College, Salish Kootenai College, and Grays Harbor College. The University of Alaska-Anchorage and the University of Alaska-Fairbanks later became partners as well as the National Indian Child Welfare Association. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative\u2019s mission is to support the success of Native secondary and postsecondary students by developing and disseminating \u201cculturally relevant curriculum and teaching resources in the form of case studies on key issues in Indian Country.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More information about the Native Case Studies Initiative can be found at their website<\/a>, which also contains more than 115 open source cases available for use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop is open to all faculty and staff affiliated with TCUs, Alaska Native-serving institutions, Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, and employees of federally recognized tribal governments.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deadline for registration<\/a> is May 29. Requests for travel support should be made before May 1. For more information, contact Lori Brown<\/a> at the TCUP Hub. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
