SCPKU Summer Seminar Program
Summer Seminars
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 may be invited to join the seminar to create a truly cross-cultural learning experience. Stanford students will be limited to a total of 8; 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 before January 22nd. Please make clear how teaching the course in China adds to the class content. Fieldwork and research methods seminars are encouraged.

This opportunity is open to faculty from all Stanford schools that are Stanford Academic Council members, Medical Center Line Faculty, and Active Emeriti. Faculty members can design a course on a topic of their choice and select up to eight Stanford students to participate. Additionally, SCPKU can assist in inviting a small number of relevant Peking University students if desired. Courses may also include field trips to locations in China that align with the seminar’s theme.
