NCTA 2026: Ink & Image: East Asian History & Culture. A Foundational Seminar for K-12 Educators
The Center for East Asian & Pacific Studies is excited to announce our second annual National Consortium for Teaching About Asia (NCTA) seminar this summer for K-12 educators.
ALL K-12 educators are welcome to apply! This free, one-week, in-person NCTA foundational seminar offers an arts integrated approach to learning and teaching about East Asian history and culture. Through explorations in Chinese calligraphy and visual culture, Japanese arts, anime, and manga, and Korean music and popular culture, participants will examine how artistic forms reflect social values, political change, and cross-cultural exchange, while building interdisciplinary strategies that connect history, art, and cultural identity. Participants learn how to locate resources and design lessons that speak to students’ growing interests in East Asian history and culture.
