History is more than just names and dates—it is a story of movement, adaptation, and resilience. Join Amy Sharony for a thought-provoking discussion on a history approach that begins in Africa with the evolution of Homo sapiens and follows the human journey across the globe, often shaped by environmental shifts and climate change. By examining history through the lens of migration, students gain a richer understanding of the forces that have shaped civilizations, cultures, and innovations throughout time.

This talk will also explore how skills-based writing strategies can enhance historical learning by deepening understanding, strengthening knowledge retention, and sharpening critical thinking and analytical skills.
