Hi Folks,

The next California Council for Social Studies conference is in Sacramento March 4-6, 2011. Please consider proposing a panel on teaching about Asia. USC NCTA alumni are eligible for small grants to defray the cost of attending such conferences to present lessons/strategies/materials developed to teach about East Asia.

There are many possible panel topics. One that plays on an important anniversary is the 100th anniversary of China's 1911 revolution. Other possibilities might include presentations on the role of the Olympics and World Expos in shaping domestic and international perceptions of host cities and peoples.

The title of the conference is "Boom and Bust: Celebrating 50 Years of Social Studies."
Details about the conference and how to propose a panel are at:

Please feel free to use the forum to kick around possible panel topics or to recruit fellow presenters.
