Luce Scholars Program
The Center for East Asian Studies is now accepting applications applications for the Luce Scholars Program until Friday, October 9, 2020.
Description:
The program offers students (undergraduate seniors and recent graduates under the age of 30) who have had little exposure to Asia a chance to spend a year in one of the many countries in Asia in their field of interest. There is a very wide range for the areas of study including but not limited to the arts, journalism, law, medicine, science, public health, environmental studies, and international relations. Luce Scholars should have demonstrated strong leadership skills and accomplishments.

UChicago Educator Outreach Initiatives
In collaboration with the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting and other international and area studies centers at the University of Chicago, the Center for East Asian Studies recently supported professional development opportunities for educators to examine ways to bring international content into classrooms including a three-part webinar series entitled, "Global Views - A Summer 2020 Series for Educators," and the annual Summer Institute for Educators.
As a Title VI National Resource Center, designated by the U.S. Department of Education, the Center for East Asian Studies presented one of the three webinars with foreign affairs correspondent, Nick Schifrin, on June 4th in, "Understanding China from the Inside Out: A Conversation for Educators with Foreign Affairs Correspondent Nick Schifrin." This webinar included a presentation from Schifrin about his process for reporting on the project, "China: Power and Prosperity" for PBS NewsHour, a Q&A with Schifrin, and a presentation on digital resources that educators could use to connect students with reporting on China.
This year's 2020 Summer Institute for Educators, "Reporting on Public Health: Challenges, Solutions and Lessons Learned," took place virtually on June 25 and 26 as a Zoom webinar. This two-day virtual conference for educators brought together award-winning journalists supported by the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting and digital educational resource created by Pulitzer Center and UChicago to explore how reporting on past public health crises throughout the world can offer valuable insights on the challenges presented by COVID-19.
Information pertaining to these events, and more, is accessible by visiting the UChicago Educator Outreach Website. To view these events online, click here. The "Global Views" webinar series and the Summer Institute for Educators are supported by Title VI National Resource Center Grants from the U.S Department of Education.
