"Teaching about the Middle East through Underreported Stories" - Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting

A collaboration with @UMCMENAS.

This session with the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting explores reporting on the MENA region and curricular resources that can be used to connect underreported news stories to the classroom. We outline ways to engage students in global issues through journalism, develop media literacy, encourage critical thinking about the MENA region, and connect with a journalist for a conversation about their experience reporting from the Middle East.

This workshop is part of the spring 2021 series, "How to Teach about the Middle East -- and Get it Right!", a collaboration between the National Resource Centers dedicated to Middle East Studies at Duke University-The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.
