Hemispheres: The International Outreach Consortium

Connecting to the larger world. Transforming old ideas into new. Providing innovative approaches to world studies.

Hemispheres, the international outreach consortium at the University of Texas at Austin, offers a broad educational program to increase knowledge and understanding of Latin America; the Middle East; Russia, East Europe, and Eurasia; and South Asia. Using the resources of one of the nation’s largest research institutions, we work with educators to address critical needs and to supplement existing knowledge of the world around us.

Over the past decade, Hemispheres has worked to strengthen the relationship between the university and K–12 educators by engaging in an ongoing dialogue. We see the university as a center for current ideas and our role as a conduit to bring information to you in the ways that you find most useful. Everything we do is constructed with an awareness of the standards and an understanding of what educators need for their classrooms. We are actively involved in content-based teacher training, standards-aligned curriculum development, and the presentation of instructional resources in a variety of formats and levels.
