Summer Institute for Community College Instructors
May 31 - June 1, 2024
How does the state know itself and the world in which it operates? This summer institute will explore the ways in which states generate and use information. How do states produce information about themselves, collect information about other states and peoples, and manage the flow of information internally and externally? What kinds of information is available to states in the age of big data and does this substantively change relations between states, corporations, and citizens?
This ORIAS Summer Institute is intended for instructors of global studies, economics, international relations, political science, journalism, modern world history, computational social science, and related information sciences. It is open to community college instructors and (space permitting) high school teachers of AP history-social science courses.
This FREE program will take place in person and lunch will be provided. Space is limited to 22 people on a first-come, first-served basis.
