Being Somali in the Diaspora: Explorations through the Somali Documentary Project for Educators
Instructors: Martha Bigelow, Curriculum and Instruction, University of Minnesota; Abdi Roble, Photographer, Somali Documentary Project; Doug Rutledge, Writer, Somali Documentary Project

This institute will be taught collaboratively with Abdi Roble, Doug Rutledge, creators of The Somali Documentary Project, and Martha Bigelow, from the Department of Curriculum and Instruction. The institute is intended to be for educators or students of any discipline who teach any age group who are interested in the broad areas of refugee studies, identity formation, Diaspora communities and education. By focusing on the photographs in the exhibit at the Weisman Art Museum, participants will develop new understandings and personal connections to the Somali community which translate into innovations in teaching practices, outreach to families, or school climate reforms. Educators will have the opportunity to experience and learn enduring strategies for integrating art across curriculum and through instruction.
