Call for Proposals - Global Seminars Summer 2020 - Faculty-Led Study Abroad Programs

We are pleased to announce the call for Summer 2020 Global Seminars. The Academic Senate approved the Global Seminar program as a permanent study abroad offering for UC San Diego during fall 2009. The Global Seminar program offers 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 Study Abroad, UC San Diego. According to Academic Senate policy, members of the UC San Diego Academic Senate, including ladder rank faculty, LSOE, LPSOE as well as Continuing Unit 18 Lecturers with eighteen quarters of teaching experience at UC San Diego, are eligible to teach Global Seminars.

Over one hundred 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 eighteen Global Seminars in sixteen cities during Summer 2019 (Athens, Berlin, Dublin, Edinburgh, Florence, Hong Kong, Jerusalem, Kyoto, Madrid, London, Paris, Reykjavik, Rome, St. Andrews, Sydney, and Tokyo). Study Abroad UC San Diego hopes to offer another compelling selection of seminars in Summer 2020.
