SUMMARY:Online - Content Session – World History Era Three: Interregional Networks and Exchange (700–1500)
DESCRIPTION:Investigate the trade routes and networks of cultural exchange that connected Africa\, Asia\, Europe\, and the Americas\, shaping societies through the movement of people\, goods\, ideas\, and technologies. Dr. Katharine Gerbner\, historian and scholarly lead for this series\, will facilitate a conversation with historians Victoria Morse and Giancarlo Casale\, who will each present their scholarship\, drawing on primary and secondary sources to explore how these connections transformed communities and how historians reconstruct global interactions across time and place. This session provides historical context\, source analysis\, and thematic framing for teaching this era\, with opportunities for participant questions and discussion. \n\n\n\n\n\n+View Giancarlo Casale’s Bio\n\n\n\n\nGiancarlo Casale\, a specialist Ottoman history\, is a former member of the University of Minnesota history faculty\, where he developed the introductory world history survey “Civilization and the Environment: World History to 1500”. He is currently head of department at the European University Institute in Florence\, Italy\, as well as a research affiliate of the University of Minnesota Center for Premodern Studies. His publications\, which focus on the interaction between Islam and world history\, include the books The Ottoman Age of Exploration (Oxford\, 2011) and Prisoner of the Infidels: The Memoir of an Ottoman Muslim in 17th-century Europe (California\, 2021). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n+View Victoria Morse’s Bio\n\n\n\n\nVictoria Morse received her PhD in medieval history from the University of California\, Berkeley.

Registered participants will have access to session recordings\, curated resources\, and collaborative planning tools through the Canvas course. \n\n\nHigh school World History teachers and 8th grade educators are encouraged to participate in companion Pedagogy Sessions\, which explore inquiry-based instructional approaches and classroom applications for each era. \n\nThis offering is part of Navigating the World History Eras: Content\, Pedagogy\, and Inquiry in the Classroom\, a yearlong professional learning opportunity presented by MHC and MDE that supports implementation of Minnesota’s 2021 K–12 Academic Standards in Social Studies. \n\nK-12 Educators will receive 1.5 clock hours upon completion of the event. \n\nRegistration\nContent Sessions are open to all K–12 educators interested in historical content and source-based instruction.
