In conjunction with the Office of the Provost,
the center will fund and facilitate development of courses by faculty (First-Year
Seminars and Presidential Seminars). In addition, the Center will collaborate with
faculty across the disciplines to develop
courses that incorporate foreign language in the course, either in courses taught
entirely in a foreign language, or in courses that incorporate an extra discussion
session in the target language.
The center will organize opportunities for
faculty to present their research and share their interests and projects on global
issues. The center will welcome international scholars, artists, poets and facilitate
their integration at Smith and their collaboration with faculty in courses, research
or projects of common interest.
In a future phase of development, the center will develop
a biannual Transnational, Interdisciplinary Faculty Seminar, in collaboration with
faculty from partner universities abroad. Located for the first three weeks at Smith,
the seminar participants will then travel to one of our JYA or consortia program
sites (Hamburg, Geneva, Florence, Paris, Kyoto, Cordoba, Puebla, Madras) and continue
the seminar with faculty from our partnership institutions. We envision that these
seminars will encourage further collaboration with our international partner institutions. |
