In this episode, we’ll explore the joint work of the Council of American Overseas Research Centers, or CAORC, and AIIS in supporting faculty at community colleges and minority-serving institutions. CAORC has been partnering with member centers since 2017, organizing two-week international study abroad trips focusing on enriching faculty development opportunities through the exploration of complex global issues like climate change, religious and ethnic diversity, and the complexities of urban sustainability.
Joining us today to explore the work of CAORC and AIIS is Sandria Freitag, Associate Teaching Professor in the Department of History at NC State University and leader of the CAORC-AIIS faculty development seminars; Maria del Carmen Paniagua, Associate Professor in the Math Department in Ivy Tech-Community College-Bloomington, Indiana; Mukila Maitha, Associate Professor of Geography, Department Chair, and Coordinator of both the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Drone Technology Program at Harper College; and Amar Sawhney, Professor of Architecture, Building Construction, and Interior Design and Miami Dade College alongside Jessica Barnes, senior lecturer in Geography at Northern Arizona University.
