International Learning SessionS
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Be a Visiting Lecturer
Ateneo de Davao University (ADDU) hosts regular visiting scholars who not only do research in Mindanao, but also serve as guest instructors in international learning sessions about various topics and areas of engagement. International learning sessions are usually comprehensive, presented as a meticulous yet engaging survey of a specific topic, championing the specializations of the guest speaker.
The guest instructor proposes a topic for discussion, and chooses one or a combination of the various formats available to AIM’s International Learning Sessions, such as: the Pakighinabi (local term for dialogue) Sessions, Lecture Series, Bappa Benny’s International Talk Series, or the Alternative Class format for Undergraduate and Graduate Programs.
