SUMMARY:Global Issues Through Literature Series: Re-Centering Narratives: 
 Indigenous and Island Peoples: Girl of Kosovo by Alice Mead
DESCRIPTION:This professional development workshop series is designed for 
 K-12 educators seeking to deepen their understanding of global issues thr
 ough literature. This year\, we will explore the theme of "Re-Centering N
 arratives: Indigenous and Island Peoples." Through global and regional pe
 rspectives\, we will discuss narratives of Indigenous and Island Peoples\
 , whose identities\, spaces\, and lived experiences are informed by globa
 l phenomena such as migration and displacement\, economic and political s
 truggles\, environmental issues\, human rights\, and human conditions. By
  exploring compelling stories from diverse cultural perspectives\, educat
 ors will gain insights into the complexities of this theme\, its impact o
 n individuals and communities\, and how to engage students in meaningful 
 discussions around these topics.\n\nEach session features a carefully sel
 ected book\, paired with historically contextualized presentations\, inte
 ractive discussions\, teaching strategies\, and cross-disciplinary activi
 ties to inspire classroom implementation.\n\nThe workshop for November 19
 \, 2026 will focus on the book\, Girl of Kosovo by Alice Mead\n\nhttp://n
