Keep Eyes on Sudan: Teaching and Artistic Production on Sudan

Announced by the University of Pittsburgh

This event will focus on the pedagogical and artistic approaches to understanding Sudan’s historical and contemporary landscape. Designed primarily for K-12 educators, the program will feature a presentation of MAAS graduate student-developed educational modules, which offer structured frameworks for integrating Sudan-related content into curricula. Following this presentation, Dr. Susan Douglass will facilitate a discussion on the pedagogical applications of these materials, considering both historical and contemporary dimensions of Sudanese society. In addition to this academic engagement, the event will highlight the role of artistic production in shaping narratives about Sudan. Artist Waad Husein will present and exhibit her work, offering insight into how visual culture serves as a medium for documenting, interpreting, and responding to Sudan’s political and social realities.
