Students engaging with Grad Student during the Intercultural Perspectives on Teaching and Learning program in China

China: Intercultural Perspectives in Teaching and Learning

The University is continuing to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on future travel. In the event that travel is not possible, Steinhardt Global Affairs will work with faculty on a case-by-case basis to explore alternatives.

The application for Summer 2022 programs is now open!

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.
