Fulbright Guest Lecture Program
—Since 1983—
The Educational Exchanges staff of the United States Embassy is pleased to offer the 2012-2013 Fulbright Guest Lecture Program to your university.
The U.S. Fulbright Lecturer Program focuses on the development of American studies in Chinese universities. Lecturers with expertise in Law, American History, Economics, Journalism, Media/Culture/Film, and Crop and Soil Science teach in selected host university departments for one or two academic terms.
In order to make the resources represented by the U.S. Lecturers available to the wider academic community in China, the Fulbright Guest Lecture Program, initiated in 1983, financially supports Lecturers’ travel away from their host universities to make presentations to various academic audiences throughout China.
