Overview
The Stanford Center at Peking University (SCPKU) offers Stanford faculty from any school or discipline an opportunity to lead a three-week seminar in Beijing. The faculty decides on the topic and make the final selection of student participants. Chinese university students will be invited to join the seminar to create a truly cross-cultural learning experience. Stanford students will be limited to a total of 16; funding for one Stanford teaching assistant will be provided to support each seminar.
Eligible Stanford faculty (Academic Council members, Medical Center Line faculty, and Active Emeriti) are invited to submit seminar proposals at any time. Please make clear how teaching the course in China adds to the class content. Fieldwork and research methods seminars are encouraged.
