    "title": "Beyond Representation: Some Guidelines for Non-Specialists Teaching Medieval Africa",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "This essay originated as a reflection on teaching medieval Africa at the high school level and has benefitted from participation in the online course “Medieval Africa and Africans” sponsored by the Medieval Academy of America and the National Humanities Center. In it I argue for the relevance of medieval African topics in K-16 classroom settings and offer guidelines for focusing on discrete sources and geographies, maximizing the global aspect of medieval African sources and archaeological sites, and adapting teaching content for specific curricular or institutional needs. In these guidelines, I deploy specific examples of primary source evidence as well as open-access online resources for teachers and instructors at practically all levels of education to use so that they can illuminate a more thorough historical map of medieval Afroeurasia as a constellation of interconnected centers and peripheries rather than an isolated series of regions.",
