The U.S. Embassy is now accepting applications for the Study of the U.S. Institutes (SUSI) exchange programs. SUSI Exchanges, sponsored by the United States government, are intensive postgraduate-level academic programs that aim to strengthen curricula and improve the quality of education about the United States at academic institutions abroad. The programs consist of five- to six-week institutes taking place from June 2023 at various U.S. colleges, universities, and academic institutions.
The SUSI for Scholars offers academics the opportunity to deepen their understanding of American society, culture, values, and institutions. Participants can apply to attend one of six institutes: American Politics and Political Thought; contemporary American literature; Journalism and media; American culture, identity and society; US economy and sustainable development; or US foreign policy. Since the 1970s, numerous Cameroonian scientists, educators, researchers, practitioners, and specialists have participated 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 (US foreign policy, 2022). The embassy invites qualified professionals from higher education institutions or research-oriented organizations to apply.
The SUSI for Secondary Educators is designed for experienced educators, administrators, and education professionals who want to introduce aspects of American studies into their curricula and/or teacher training programs. The institutes provide content and materials to help educators develop secondary-level curricula across the United States. The program will also examine the history and development of American institutions and ideals using a combination of conventional, multidisciplinary, and interdisciplinary approaches. In addition to institutes designed for classroom teachers, there is an institute aimed at textbook writers, curriculum developers, teacher educators, Ministry of Education officials, and other administrators.
