School Teachers to Explore Silk Road

Professor Scott Levi

Scott Levi and a group of 25 middle school and high school teachers from all over the U.S. are exploring Central Asia’s Silk Road this summer via a three-week institute. In turn, the teachers will weave their new knowledge about this historically and politically significant region into lessons that will reach thousands of young students in schools throughout America.

Levi, associate professor in the Department of History, is hosting the summer institute, Central Asia in World History, at Ohio State. The institute is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). It’s the second time Levi has successfully garnered the NEH Summer Institute for Teachers grant; he first hosted a two-week program for schoolteachers in 2012.
