ACADEMIC SENATE FACULTY

SUBJECT:    Call for Proposals - Global Seminars Summer 2017 - Faculty-Led Study Abroad Programs

We are pleased to announce the call for Summer 2017 Global Seminars.

The UC San Diego Global Seminar program offers Academic Senate faculty the opportunity to teach two four-unit courses in an international location during a five-week summer session, with the benefit of full logistical support through the Programs Abroad Office.

Over fifty seminars have been taught abroad by UC San Diego faculty since the Global Seminars program began in Summer 2008. Planning is well underway for up to fifteen Global Seminars in twelve cities (Amman, Athens, Berlin, Edinburgh, Granada, London, Paris, Parma, Quito, Rome, Seoul, and Tokyo) during Summer 2016, and Study Abroad UC San Diego hopes to offer another compelling selection of seminars in Summer 2017. Detailed program information and an application may be found on the faculty page of the Study Abroad UC San Diego website:

Together with Professor Scott Baden, Faculty Director of Study Abroad UC San Diego, and Dr. Kirk Simmons, Dean of the International Center, we invite you to submit a proposal to lead a Global Seminar in Summer 2017.

A committee will review proposals with an aim to offer students a range of destinations, disciplines, and costs. Proposals received by Friday, April 15, 2016 will be considered for the Summer 2017 program.
