The Stanford Center at Peking University (SCPKU) offers three-week graduate seminars designed and taught by Stanford faculty from any school or discipline. The seminars target Stanford graduate students; Chinese university students will be invited to join some seminars. Seminars will be limited to 16 students (8 Stanford students maximum) and one Stanford teaching assistant (TA) will support each seminar. No China expertise is required.
Faculty will receive a $7500 teaching supplement (subject to university approval) and support for travel and living expenses while the seminar is in session; they may also be eligible to receive one extra week of support in China, including research funds, immediately before or after seminars to conduct their own work in China.
Eligibility:
All Stanford Academic Council members, Medical Center Line Faculty, and Active Emeriti are eligible to submit seminar proposals. (For team-taught seminars, only the lead instructor submitting the proposal must have this status.) A faculty advisory committee representing a cross-section of Stanford’s academic community will review all proposals and make selections. In the selection process, the advisory committee will strive for diversity of disciplines and the potential for seminars to leverage local resources. Fieldwork and research methods seminars are encouraged. The advisory committee will also determine eligibility for the one extra week of support in China immediately before or after the seminar.
