Overview
Knowing that one cannot simply addā gender or international elements to curricula and stir,ā these scholar-teachers promote the discovery of more diverse and global perspectives, not only innovative in their approach but essential to our understandings. Strategies for focus are key, as, for example, in an interesting course in Italian studies that compares and contrasts the exodus of Italians to the United States in the early twentieth century with the current influx of African immigrants into Italy.
The volume includes essays, course syllabi, annotated bibliographies and videographies, as well as novel teaching strategies and suggestions for a variety of international materials. The contributors take a fully integrated approach to such transformational curricular work, recommending both theoretical perspectives and specific strategies for teaching in many different kinds of classrooms. Like notes from the front lines of an academic movement, these accounts speak candidly to the frustrations experienced and the strategies employed as they work to challenge traditional usā and themā asymmetriesboth in the classroom and in the larger world.
