Teaching opportunities in the UNO-Innsbruck International Summer School or UNO-Japan in 2025
- Proposal deadline: Monday, Sept. 30 at 8 a.m.
The UGA Office of Global Engagement recently received a request for course proposals and/or teaching existing courses in the University of New Orleans (UNO)-Innsbruck International Summer School in Innsbruck, Austria or UNO-Japan in Kyoto, Japan in summer 2025. UNO-Innsbruck has been a very popular partner study abroad program for UGA students, with 187 students participating in it in 2024. It has also been a popular location for UGA faculty to teach in the summer. Looking to 2025, UNO expanded their teaching opportunities for UGA faculty to include Kyoto, Japan.
The Division of International Education at UNO requests course proposals from faculty interested in teaching in the UNO-Innsbruck International Summer School in Innsbruck, Austria or UNO-Japan in Kyoto, Japan. The UNO-Innsbruck International Summer School will run from July 2 through August 8, 2025. UNO-Japan will run from May 18 through June 26, 2025.
We welcome course proposals in any discipline that can effectively engage with the unique learning environments of our programs, both from faculty members with previous study abroad experience and new colleagues interested in cultivating the international dimension of their teaching. Courses with specific focus or content dedicated to exploring the geographical contexts (European/Austrian, Japanese) of their program locations will be given priority consideration.
For examples of past courses, please see the 2024 course offerings on our website: UNO-Innsbruck and UNO-Japan. If you are seeking inspiration, we have also attached a list of courses in the UNO catalog that we feel could benefit from being taught abroad, particularly in Innsbruck though many of the special topics courses could also be adapted for Japan. Each course title links to our catalog where you can read the full course description and further peruse course options if interested.
You are NOT required to propose courses from this list. It is not intended to exclude other options, only to provide examples of the kinds of courses that might lend themselves well to teaching and learning abroad. Please also note that inclusion of a course on the list does not indicate departmental approval has been given for the course to be taught abroad.
Questions should be directed to Ryan Bell, director of experiential learning and study away. Email your workbook, with syllabi attached if you have them (not required), to Ryan Bell by 8 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 30.
