Online Series Continues: Southeast Asian Children’s Literature Workshops

Following the in-person workshops held earlier this summer, this five-part online workshop series invites K–12 educators to explore Southeast Asian children’s literature through new and returning sessions. Each workshop features a different book and offers creative strategies for integrating Southeast Asian cultures, languages, and themes into classroom teaching.

This series is co-organized by the Cornell Southeast Asia Program, the UH Mānoa Center for Southeast Asian Studies, and the MSU Asian Studies Center.
