“The world needs music and art to help solve some global issues more than ever. If leaders and people are looking for happiness, sustainability, justice and hope, they shall look to music and art.” - Sean Gao
For 30 years, Sean Gao has been a global engagement professional and an environmental artist who is an advocate for the sustainability of performing art, quality education and environmental justice and policy.
Humans have always been a musical species from the beginning of time, and Sean believes music is from the people and for the people. This student-centered and audience-centered musical conversation will feature instrumental and vocal music from the East and West to inspire teachers and students about teaching and learning Asian content. The guest artists include members of his world traveling 6-WIRE trio and others.
Promoting Asian American music and art has been a shared artistic goal since Sean’s first day of college (U of Delaware) teaching career at 9am ET on September 11, 2001.

This will be an informative session with speakers from various English teaching ventures ranging from JET, Fulbright, and so on. The speakers will inform the audience on how they gained interest in wanting to teach english outside the United states, and what their experiences is/was like. We’re expecting a diverse group of attendees, ranging from those who are just starting to explore opportunities, to those who are preparing for or already engaged in teaching abroad. The session will cover various aspects of teaching English in different cultural contexts, from preparing lesson plans and understanding student needs to navigating life in a foreign country.
Some key topics we’re hoping to address include:
1. Understanding the cultural nuances and challenges of teaching in non-English-speaking countries.
2. Exploring different teaching methods and resources that are effective in international classrooms.
3. Navigating visas, work permits, and logistical aspects of teaching abroad.
4. Creating a fulfilling and sustainable career while living in another country.
We are also inviting students from the regional campuses so they also have the opportunity to learn from this.

The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recently predicted that global average temperatures will rise 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels in the mid-2030s. Over the last decades, a global network of scholars, policy makers, activists, and others have organized to offer ways to mitigate and even reverse the effects of climate change. What offramps can these solutions and movements offer our collective humanity?
“Eurasian Environments” seeks to provide some reflections to mark the UN’s 2024 Climate Change Conference in Baku, Azerbaijan. This series will examine social justice and sustainability efforts to address climate change by putting scholars of Eurasia in conversation with their peers specializing on Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe. The series will comprise six events that will illuminate the challenges and possible solutions to climate change in Eurasia in regional and global contexts.
This event is part of the Eurasian Environments: Climate Justice and Sustainability in Global Context series.
