The Summer 2007 Teaching about Asia Seminar will be held on the Bloomington campus of Indiana University next week (16-21 July) under the auspices of IU's East Asian Studies Center.

Participants will be Social Studies and Humanities Teachers for grades 6-12. The instructor is Paul B. Watt, Ph.D., Professor of Asian Studies and Chair, DePauw University.

The East Asian Studies Center of Indiana University, with the National Consortium for Teaching about Asia, is engaged in a national multi-year program to improve the teaching of East Asia in America's schools.

The East Asian Studies Center assists in the coordination of teaching, research, and outreach activities on East Asia. Established in 1979, EASC links the expertise of I.U.'s East Asian area specialists to the local and national needs of business, education, and government.
