The Council on American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC) just announced its next round of Overseas Faculty Development seminars for 2025.

These fully-funded seminars are designed for faculty and administrators at US community colleges and minority-serving institutions. The objective of the seminars is to help participants gain international experience to develop and improve curricula at their home institutions.
Awardees will participate in a short-term academic program that includes round-trip travel, accommodations, meals, and site visits.

The January 2025 series includes seminars presented by Overseas Research Centers in Bangladesh, India, and Senegal. Here are the focuses for each, 

  • Bangladesh: Navigating the Bangladesh Paradox: The Dichotomy of Development
  • India: Sustainability through Urban and Agricultural India
  • Senegal: West Africa and the Diaspora—Continuities and Transformations

Information sessions about the CAORC Faculty Development Seminar program with Jeff Badger, Program Director are scheduled through the summer starting in April (go to this site to register for one of the seminars). The application deadline is July 19, 2024.
