The U.S. Embassy is now accepting applications for the Study of the U.S. Institutes (SUSI) exchange programs. \u00a0Sponsored by the U.S. government, SUSI exchanges are intensive post-graduate level academic programs whose purpose is to strengthen curricula and to enhance the quality of teaching about the United States at academic institutions abroad.\u00a0 The programs consist of five-to-six-week institutes that will take place at various American colleges, universities, and academic institutions beginning in or after June 2023.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The SUSI for Scholars<\/strong>\u00a0provide academics the opportunity to deepen their understanding of U.S. society, culture, values, and institutions.\u00a0 Participants can apply to partake in one of six Institutes: American Politics and Political Thought; Contemporary American Literature; Journalism and Media; U.S. Culture, Identity, and Society; U.S. Economics and Sustainable Development; or U.S. Foreign Policy.\u00a0 Since the 1970s, numerous Cameroonian scholars, faculty members, researchers, practitioners, and specialists have partaken in the SUSI, including, most recently, Dr. Louis Marie Kakdeu of the University of Maroua (Journalism and Media, 2022) and Dr. Emile Sesela Sunjo of the University of Buea (U.S. Foreign Policy, 2022).\u00a0 The Embassy invites qualified professionals from institutions of higher education or research focused organizations to apply.<\/p>\n

The SUSI for Secondary Educators<\/strong>\u00a0is for experienced classroom teachers, administrators, and education professionals who wish to introduce aspects of U.S. studies into their curricula and\/or educator training programs. \u00a0The Institutes provide content and materials to help educators develop secondary-level curricula about the United States.\u00a0 The program will likewise explore the history and development of American institutions and ideals using a combination of conventional, multi-disciplinary, and interdisciplinary approaches.\u00a0 In addition to institutes designed for classroom teachers, there is an institute geared toward textbook writers, curriculum developers, teacher trainers, Ministry of Education officials, and other administrators.<\/p>\n
