New H-Net Network:
H-AfrTeach
********************
We are pleased to announce the official launch of H-AfrTeach,
a new H-Net network considering the possibilities and problems
involved in teaching about Africa.
With the help of our subscribers' advice and contributions,
H-AfrTeach will build a website for teachers at all levels of
education. We plan to provide grade-appropriate resources and
information about Africa, as well as support for innovative
teaching about the entire continent.
The H-AfrTeach webpage may be found at:
http://h-net.msu.edu/~afrteach
We invite you to visit the site and send us your reactions,
suggestions, and contributions at <mwalimu@h-net2.msu.edu>.
Because H-AfrTeach editors believe teaching about Africa often
involves similar issues and questions, no matter the level of
our students--from elementary to university--we also sponsor a
moderated discussion list to explore teaching about the entire
continent.
Subscription to the H-AfrTeach discussion list is free, and we
welcome subscribers with diverse interests and backgrounds. To
subscribe, you may complete the interactive membership survey
on our webpage, found at:
http://h-net.msu.edu/~afrteach/discussion.html
Or you may request a survey by e-mail. Send a message to:

You will receive the membership survey by return e-mail. When
you have completed it, please return it to us at:
H-AfrTeach is made possible by H-Net, Humanities & Social
Sciences OnLine, and is an outreach service supported by the
African Studies Centers at Michigan State University, Boston
