The Center for Global Education has a number of opportunities for faculty members to become involved in global education. Please contact CGE if you are interested in any of these.
Short-term Faculty Development Opportunities Abroad
There are many short-term abroad experiences for faculty who wish to spend a few weeks abroad rather than a semester. Below are a list of seminars and workshops:
DIS International Educators Workshop
The International Educators Workshop is "like a mini-semester at DIS." Participants are able to attend classes, meet DIS faculty and students, live with a host family, and serve on discussion panels. The objective for the workshop is to serve as a forum on DIS programs and broader issues in education abroad.
IAU Atelier Professionnel (Professional Development Workshop)
IAU's Professional Development Workshop is designed to improve participants' knowledge of contemporary French language and culture. It is also a place for teachers to hone their teaching strategies as well as exchange strategies with other French teachers. Classroom and research sessions are augmented by cultural outings.
IES Faculty Development Seminars
Each year, IES offers a range of Faculty Development Seminars that are designed to bring faculty and experts from around the world together in a forum of exchange. Seminar topics range from language pedagogy to current events, and locations vary.
IES Familiarization Trips
Familiarization Trips are a good way for faculty to learn more about IES study abroad programs. Participants are able to visit with partner institutions and observe classes, as well as attend cultural excursions

Other opportunities
The above list is not exhaustive of the opportunities to teach and conduct research abroad. If there is a region you are interested in that is not listed, contact CGE for information about opportunities in the region you are interested in. Embedded courses are another option for professors looking to incorporate the abroad experience into their teaching repertoire. These courses are offered on-campus, but involve a trip/travel component to the region of focus that augments the classroom experience. Please see CGE for details.
