CIEE International Faculty Development Seminars are in-depth encounters with the people, places, and issues that shape our world. Expect one to two intensive weeks of lectures by local faculty and experts from prestigious institutions, site visits that illuminate ideas explored in those lectures, and opportunities to contribute to lively discussions with international colleagues.

Interdisciplinary by design, all CIEE faculty seminars examine contemporary issues, globalization, and local perspectives. Across our many seminars, topics cover a wide range of issues; see below for just a few of the many lecture and site visit topics faculty are exploring as part of their IFDS experience:   

• Development & Urbanization
• Human Rights
