Request for Proposals – Global Seminars Summer 2024 – Faculty-Led Study Abroad & Study Away Programs

We are pleased to announce the call for Summer 2024 Global Seminars. The Academic Senate approved the Global Seminar program as a permanent study abroad offering for UC San Diego during fall 2009 after a two-year pilot period. The Global Seminar program offers the opportunity to teach two four-unit courses in an international or US 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, voting members of the UC San Diego Academic Senate, including ladder rank faculty, LSOE, LPSOE as well as Continuing Unit 18 Lecturers with 18 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 21 Global Seminars in 17 cities during Summer 2023 (Auckland, Bangkok, Bali, Berlin, Bern, Cape Town, Dublin, Edinburgh, Granada, London, Ostional, Paris, Quito, Rome, San Juan, Santiago, Vienna). Of course, safety is our highest priority. Global Education is carefully monitoring the pandemic as well as the broader risk management situation and will cancel seminars if it is deemed unsafe to proceed.

Study Abroad UC San Diego hopes to offer another compelling selection of seminars in Summer 2024. Detailed program information and an application may be found in the “Teach a Global Seminar” section at the Study Abroad UC San Diego website: https://studyabroad.ucsd.edu/faculty/global-seminars.html
