The tour begins at the cases in the Kroch Asia Library corridor.

Join the Cornell University Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies and the South Asia Center at Syracuse University for the 2024 International Studies Summer Institute (ISSI)! This year, we will explore plant and animal migration around the world and at home. ISSI is a professional development workshop for practicing and pre-service K–12 educators.

Participants will explore the patterns and causes of plant and animal migration in a global context, as well as how they affect and are affected by human society. Scholars from Cornell University and Syracuse University will share their research and expertise from across different regions of the world, including Africa, East Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.

Object-based learning will be a specific focus. Sessions will include an introduction to the Einaudi Center’s culture kits and how they can support hands-on learning about plant and animal migration in different countries. Culture kits are a collection of cultural artifacts from around the world, tailored for use in K-12 classrooms. We will also feature an overview of Latin American and East Asian artwork on these topics at the Johnson Museum of Art and an introduction to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s eBird kits.

Who Can Participate

We welcome practicing and pre-service K–12 educators of all subjects and grade levels who work in New York State. While this year's institute will have more of a scientific focus than in past years, we believe this year’s theme will benefit educators of all subject areas, especially in developing cross-disciplinary, project-based activities with a global focus.

Join us for this talk by Roald Hoffmann, Nobel laureate in chemistry and Frank H. T. Rhodes Professor of Humane Letters, Emeritus, at Cornell.

At this event, Hoffmann pays tribute to his former colleagues Tang Ao-Qing (1915–2008, former president of Jilin University) and Lu Jiaxi (1915–2001, former president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences), who received their advanced degrees in the U.S. and became founders of theoretical and physical chemistry in the People’s Republic of China. Hoffmann discusses how they returned to their homelands during a period of uncertainty, and how they forged their lives and careers through political and social upheavals. Hoffmann also shares his experiences as a scientist who migrated to America, while recounting how he came to know and appreciate these remarkable chemists—including the role Cornell University Library played in first exposing him to their work.

Refreshments will be provided following the event at the West Pavilion.

These community partners will be available for informal meetings between 11:30am - 12:30pm and 1:30pm - 2:30pm. Please contact Dr. Julie Ficarra (jmf389@cornell.edu) if you'd like to set up a time to connect with them outside of the 12:30pm - 1:30pm panel discussion.

Before the Go-Go’s or the Riot Grrrl movement, there was Fanny, the first all-women rock band to be signed by a major label, record five albums, and tour internationally. Championed by David Bowie, Bonnie Raitt, Joe Elliot and others, Fanny defied the “isms” through undeniable talent. In 1987 June Millington, with her partner and co-founder Ann Hackler, founded the nonprofit Institute for the Musical Arts (IMA) a teaching, performing, and recording facility to support women in music. Feminist, queer, and multicultural from the beginning, IMA is located on 25 acres in Western Massachusetts where they offer rock camps for girls and young women each summer. Tonight, June performs a solo concert.
