The Terra Foundation supports opportunities to teach American art history in China, at Tsinghua University and Peking University, and in a European country (excepting France, Germany, and England). The awards to teach in China target US scholars at the assistant professor level or higher, with a minimum of five years of university-level teaching experience. The awards to teach in Europe are open to US scholars of all levels.
