This workshop sheds light on some of the many overlooked histories of Oceania, or the Pacific Islands, to recenter the “PI” in “AAPI.” This 90-min session will give an overview of U.S. Pacific Islander history, covering topics of colonization and military intervention, and interrogate the common misconstructions of the Pacific and its people. Participants will receive free Pacific Islander lesson plans to adapt these histories into their classrooms of different grade levels.
Free and open to all. Professional Development hours awarded.
This event is brought to you by Teach Asian American Stories and AAPI New Jersey.
