Understanding A Contemporary Middle East

Starts

Hello Everyone, For the most part we come to schoolhouse to prep for AP courses along with SAT prep however I felt in day and age like today we must recognize and learn about the various different situations in the Middle East as we deal with modern day geopolitical situations. We will go over various topics like key themes of colonialism, nationalism, oil, religion, authoritarianism, and resistance. We will explore the fall of the Ottoman Empire and early constitutional revolution Iran. Then WW1 and and the Sykes-Picot Agreement and the Balfour Declaration noting the long term effects. Then colonialism in Palestine, Syria, Iraq and more. WW2 and postwar order and the Arab-Israeli War and the Nakba. Beyond that the development of Pan-Arabism and the Cold War's effect on the region. Then looking towards Oil in OPEC with the 1967 and 1973 Arab-Israeli Wars and the Iranian Revolution. Pushing ahead to the Iran-Iraq War and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and Lebanon's Civil War. Beyond then we have the Gulf War and Oslo Accords and other generational shifts. Then 9/11 and the regional responses with the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. Beyond even that we will go over the Arab Spring and changes in Egypt, Syria, Libya and more. Under the assumption we got through all of this we will begin to discuss even more modern and issues even faced today along with urbanization and the megacities of Riyadh, Dubai, Cairo, Abu Dhabi and more!

John Lewis: Good Trouble, Necessary Trouble

Starts

This isn't just a history lesson—it's a call to action. We'll time-travel through the most pivotal moments of the fight for justice, from the segregated South to the halls of power, all through the incredible life of a man who started as a sharecropper's son and became a moral titan.

Here’s what you’ll experience:

🚦 Walk Across the Edmund Pettus Bridge: Virtually step onto the bridge on "Bloody Sunday" and feel the tension and courage it took to face down violence for the right to vote.

🧠 Masterclass in "Good Trouble": Decode Lewis's philosophy of strategic, nonviolent activism and learn how to apply it to the issues you care about today.

💥 Become a Freedom Rider: Through immersive storytelling, face the brutal risks and unwavering resolve of the activists who desegregated the South.

🎤 Analyse the Iconic Speeches: Hear the powerful words of the youngest speaker at the March on Washington and discover the art of persuasive, moral leadership.

⚖️ Connect History to NOW: Draw direct lines from the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to the voting rights debates of today. Your voice will be essential in this critical discussion.

How you'll engage:
This session is built for participation! Expect fast-paced live polls, breakout room debates on modern activism, and a chance to design your own "Good Trouble" campaign. You won't just learn about history, you'll learn how to make it.

Leave this session not just informed, but transformed with the inspiration and tools to stand up, speak out, and take the necessary action.
