K-12 faculty and librarians are invited to join us in the annual ORIAS summer institute - a program of lectures, discussion and resource review to build background knowledge on this important and fascinating thread in world history. Framing questions for the program are:

  • How have societies historically viewed the role of information technology
    from cuneiform tablets to social media?

  • What were the conditions necessary for innovations in industrial and military
    technology and what were the social consequences?

  • Why did technological innovations happen in one place and not another?

  • What is the role of technology in shaping a globalized world?

Free and open to all K-12 educators. Enrollment limited. UC Extension credit available for $150 fee.
