| Expanding ASOR's Online Member Resources |
|
Over the past couple of weeks, the ASOR staff began assembling a collection of online resources and teaching materials to aid our members and friends who have been asked to quickly adapt to online teaching. We encourage you to share online resources, websites, teaching aids, guidelines, or advice that you feel could be useful. ASOR wants to provide a platform where we can share ideas and help each other. Please email Marta Ostovich at programs@asor.org with any resources you would like to share with everyone.

| Libyan Museum Suitcase: Tripoli One-day Workshop |
|
Prior to the onset of a national lockdown in response to the global pandemic, our colleagues in Libya forged new ground in ASOR’s ongoing “Museum in a Suitcase” project. Funded by the U.S. Embassy to Libya and the U.S. Department of State, the program’s popularity has driven the team to devise additional outreach activities familiarizing students of diverse ages with the richness of Libyan cultural heritage. Despite the continued tumultuous state of western Libya, ASOR and our Libyan colleagues continue to foster a sense of shared heritage and the idea that it is the responsibility of the whole community to care for this heritage. This essay reports on a one-day Museum in a Suitcase workshop for students from the Granada School in Tripoli. Read more . . . |
