Africa: Entry Points for Teaching

Africa: Entry Points for Teaching

Free at an Education Week blog, this article, by Boston University’s African Studies Center, provides educators with relevant and interesting introductory video clips that begin to undermine stereotypes about Africa through African voices and a variety of narratives. It states, "The video resources we have included here are only entry points to teaching about Africa and work best when used to frame more in-depth discussion. They provide the initial African perspective and serve as a starting point for African voices in the classroom and for a dialogue between students and Africans.” The blog was posted on March 21, 2016.
