Program for Teaching East Asia 2010 Summer Institute on China for Secondary Teachers

The Program for Teaching East Asia at the University of Colorado invites applications to its 2010 summer institute, a one-week program examining, “China’s Century? Global Issues, Classroom Applications.”

Designed primarily for secondary social studies teachers, the institute will run from July 19-23, 2010 and will consider China’s role in the world through examination of domestic and international issues. The program offers teachers a unique opportunity to consider these issues with specialists who will share diverse perspectives on a “Chinese Century.” Among the questions that frame the 2010 institute are the following:

What are the domestic policies that fuel China’s growing global role?

What responsibilities will China shoulder to protect global resources?

How is China's economic reach into Central Asia and Africa affecting regional and international relations?

How do U.S. policymakers respond to China's emerging role as a global leader?

Teachers will be selected for the program on a rolling-admission basis from January 10-March 5, 2010. All costs of the residential program are covered by a grant from the Freeman Foundation and teachers receive a travel and living expense stipend.
