 Global literature in the classroom
On March 31, teachers from across the country came together to discuss how a story about slum-dwellers in Mumbai could be used in the classroom in an online interactive webinar about Katherine Boo's Behind the Beautiful Forevers. Shankar Ramaswami, SAI South Asian Studies Postdoctoral Fellow, spoke with the online book group to give the educators background and historical context about modern India. The online session gave teachers an opportunity to explore how to use literature in teaching students about global issues.
