Target Audience

Eligible candidates must be PhD students in the later stage of their study or recent PhD graduates (with no more than 6 semesters of full-time teaching experience) working at any academic institutions in Europe or beyond Europe. The summer school targets PhD students and young professionals from various Social Science disciplines, including, for example, Political Science, Sociology, Area Studies, Psychology, Anthropology, Ethics, Law, Economics, etc. While teaching experience is not a prerequisite, we prefer that candidates have at least one semester’s experience in teaching at the university level. 

Objectives

The purpose of the summer school is to enhance participants’ teaching practice by introducing them to the principles of student-centered education. The school will draw upon best practice in the scholarship of teaching and learning, and will offer a combination of practical and theoretical sessions.

Courses

The summer school runs for nine days. Each day will consist of three panels covering a variety of topics, a reading session, and individual consultations with the summer school instructors. Following are the topics to be covered:
• course design and lesson planning
• course alignment
• teaching small and large groups (using traditional activities and newer designs); 
• teaching academic writing; 
• online teaching and learning; 
• tutoring and supervision; 
• assessment; 
• evaluation and teacher development. 

Funding: Two individual scholarships available for applicants from ECPR member institutions, other scholarships available for applicants from British institutions.
