We live in a world where our lives are interconnected in complex ways across global cultures as well as fractured with tensions and walls that divide us. Global children’s and adolescent literature facilitates intercultural understanding, but issues of availability,
access, authenticity, reader responsibility, and classroom use must be addressed for this potential to be realized.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

In this three-day institute, participants will explore current trends in global literature for children and adolescents, examine critical issues and approaches to analyzing these books, and experience strategies for critically engaging with global literature.
We will use the Worlds of Words collection to immerse ourselves in a wealth of global literature as well as to delve deeply into key books to develop our own critical understandings and to consider how to invite students into a critical reading of the word
and the world. An additional component will be interactions that pair classic, well-known texts often used in elementary and secondary classrooms with global children’s and adolescent literature to expand the curriculum and include global perspectives. <o:p class=""></o:p></div>

The institute will be interactive and include presentations by experts in global literature and authors of global books along with time for browsing and reading books, engaging in literature circles, and discussing classroom connections. There will also be
breakout sessions where participants share their work with global literature with each other.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
