Proposals sought for overseas seminars
The Overseas Studies Program is accepting proposals from faculty for Overseas Seminars that will take place in September 2006, said Anja Seitz, seminar program manager. The 2-unit, three-week classes are taught by Stanford faculty in locations around the world that have direct relevance to the content of a course, Seitz said, noting that ideal destinations are in locations where Overseas Studies does not run full-quarter programs. Each group includes as many as 15 undergraduates and one teaching assistant. Seminars must be financially and logistically feasible, and faculty leaders must have prior knowledge of the location, which also must be safe, Seitz said. Interested faculty should send a one-page description of their course proposal for initial review by Oct. 27. Overseas Studies then will follow up on proposals most consistent with its criteria and work with faculty to develop full proposals and budgets, Seitz said.
