Long Description: Addressing Evolving Needs with Universal Design for Learning is a resource that was created following the success of a cohort-based online practicum that was offered to faculty, instructors, and staff at Northwestern University. This resource is designed for instructors of all levels, backgrounds, and teaching contexts to reflect on the evolving needs of students and instructors, with an emphasis on mental health. Following the events of the past couple of years, explore how elements of course design can have varying impacts on students, and learn to implement Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles to create more supportive, inclusive, and accessible learning environments for all.

Music & Culture
Long Description: After eleven years of public school teaching in Minnesota and Wisconsin, David Osterlund and his family moved to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in 1969, where he taught for four years (1969-1973). While in Ethiopia, he developed the first indigenous hymn book of the Amhara people. He was also privileged to live among the Anuak people for a full summer to study their music and culture as part of his doctoral studies. Now, fifty years later he is happy to share the cultural and musical findings of his research in this book, which is a slightly revised and corrected version of his 1978 doctoral thesis. In this study, the music idioms of the Anuak were examined stylistically within the socio-cultural setting of the tribe. This book explores the following questions: What are the racial, physical, social, and cultural characteristics of the Anuak tribe? How does music function in the Anuak culture? What provision is made to transmit the musical heritage? And what are the stylistic characteristics of vocal and instrumental music? With the dislocation and resettlement of the Anuak people in the early 2000s, this study takes on new meaning. In this study and accompanying website (anuaklegacy.com), one can find the songs and cultural practices described which were forbidden or no longer practiced. It is of highest value for the Anuak community to remember and retain those aspects of their culture that can have current value, that can connect these people with their long heritage, and can instruct their children in practices and sounds thought to have been lost forever.

Elementary Swahili: Lugha na Utamaduni is intended for both heritage and non-heritage elementary Swahili learners. It introduces the learners to aspects of Standard Swahili language and culture with the view of enhancing their intercultural competence in Swahili. The topics are well-integrated to enable the learners to easily apply what they learn in each topic into their daily interactions in Swahili about themselves, family, friends, immediate world, and East Africa. Thus, at the end of Elementary Swahili, learners should be able to carry out basic conversations in Swahili about themselves, their world, and East Africa. Further, the coursebook will incorporate common Swahili cultural practices in all the topics with the view of enhancing the learners’ intercultural competence.
