Event topic: The Human Firewall – You Are the First Line of Defense!

Join us for an exclusive online event featuring Asher Dahan, a Senior Microsoft Systems Engineer and renowned Security Expert with over 42 years of experience in cybersecurity, data recovery, and forensic investigations.

This talk adopts the notions of van Lier’s (2004a) ecological perspective, van Manen’s (1992) tact of teaching and “reflection in action”, Kumaravadivelu’s (2003) pedagogic wheel and Dai’s (2014) cognitive approach to teaching. The author examines what ecological perspectives provide for language education and teacher training. Language education should be elevated to an understanding of the larger environment where the agent perceives, interprets and creates affordances for teaching and learning.

You are invited to join us for a special viewing of student final presentations from their J-term course in Costa Rica, focused on sustainable development goals and conflict transformation. 

CSWG will be hosting training and education sessions on cybersecurity for MIIS students.
