"A Primer for Teaching Indian Ocean World History" by Edward A. Alpers & Thomas F. McDow is a guide to teaching Indian Ocean histories for the first time and a resource to reinvigorate existing courses. Read the free intro! #Education #History ow.ly/ZvuN50QStE4
Cover of A Primer for Teaching Indian Ocean World History: Ten Design Principles by Edward A. Alpers and Thomas F. McDow. The cover features an old-fashioned, colorful map of the Indian Ocean.

The background of the map is off-white, and the details of the map are depicted mostly in red, gold, blue, and green.

A tremendous loss. Professor Kalinga was a towering scholar, a mentor, and a friend. I will miss him very much.

Shaken by the news circulating on social media that Prof. Owen Kalinga has passed on. Prof. Kawinga was a leading Malawian historian whose book, Historical Dictionary of Malawi, is a must-read for those who want to take a deep dive into our history. Rest in peace, son of the soil

I'm leaving Susquehanna University after this semester, and the department is looking for a VAP in African History to start in the fall. It's a wonderful department and I'd be happy to talk with anyone about the position. careers.historians.org/jobs/…
