The Inner Asian and Uralic National Resource Center at Indiana University Bloomington offers free interactive lectures via video conferencing. You can select a pre-designed program, or contact them to customize a presentation for your needs. Several of them list “Adult Learners” as an audience, so I imagine these would be suitable for college classroom instruction. You can find contact info and see the pre-designed programs at https://iaunrc.indiana.edu/resources/video-conferencing.html. |

Kaplan (1953-2020) was an award-winning scholar of US imperialism and a human rights activist. |
