Riad Bahhur and Holly Piscopo, history professors at City College, held a open group discussion on campus Tuesday, Feb. 8, to consider the current social unrest in Egypt and how to introduce current history-changing events to students in the classroom.
“Good afternoon everyone. I wanted us to sit in a circle because it was less authoritative, patriarchal and more revolutionary,” Bahhur said.
Open to both students and faculty, the group discussed ways to incorporate current international events, such as the revolution in Egypt, into the curriculum of disciplines such as history, science, politics and math.
“We felt that it was, in general, important to internationalize the curriculum, to bring in global perspectives and events. So we felt that this particular revolution that’s happening now – because it’s so dramatic and so momentous, people are talking about it including our students — that it would be a great example of how to bring in an event like this into our curriculum to internationalize it.”

Professors among the group recounted examples of how they brought global perspectives to their classes through various means, such as group discussions, hypothetical situations, and looking from the perspective of a particular race. Participants also discussed ways they would like to incorporate current international news into their classes listened to opinions about why or why not the exercises might be effective.
“I think it is very important for professors to help students figure out the most important forces that affect our lives,” City College history professor Stuart Graybill said. “I think almost all of us [professors] are interested in figuring out what it is to make those connections apparent to students; by those connections I mean the events that are taking place in the rest of the world. I personally am interested to see how other professors [are] helping students make those connections.”
