China: Intercultural Perspectives in Teaching and Learning

Graduate Study Abroad

This program is closed and no longer accepting applications. Visit the Graduate Study Abroad page to learn about alternative study abroad opportunities for graduate students. If you have any questions, please write to steinhardt.global@nyu.edu.

Examine intercultural perspectives on teaching and learning across diverse national borders around the world. Explore the role that class, race, gender, economics, politics, religion, and cultural heritage play in the evolving dynamics in language policy, foreign and bilingual language education, and international education.

Program participants will critically reflect upon the ramifications of current world events – such as the global pandemic of COVID-19 and the impact of cross-border migration of refugees due to political conflicts – on intercultural education, civic engagement, national development, and globalization. We will share insights with scholars, teachers, policy-makers, writers, administrators, and program developers in intercultural studies.
