A Great Army is Mobilized: Teaching the Mongols

12 August 2025 at 7 PM ET/ 4 PM PT

The Mongol Empire was the largest contiguous empire in world history. For some contemporaries, the Mongols were deadly conquerors. They also facilitated extensive exchange across Afroeurasia. How can we help students better understand the historical legacy and significance of the Mongols? In this free workshop, Bram Hubbell will discuss how to teach the Mongols in a world historical context. Participants will learn about Mongol textual and visual primary sources that help students learn how Haitians understood their revolution.
