The subjects of teaching include various fields of humanities and social sciences, specifically, economics, political science, sociology, education, anthropology, philosophy and history. OYCF will grant 8 fellowship awards, including 5 OYCF-Ford fellowships in the amount of $2,250 each and 3 OYCF-Gregory Chow fellowships in the amount of $2,000 each, to support short term teaching trips during the academic year of 2004-2005. The application deadline is July 31, 2004. Awards will be announced on August 31, 2004. Additional fellowships may be available depending on funding. If you have a Ph.D., J.D., S.J.D. or a comparable graduate degree from, or is currently an advanced doctoral candidate in, a university in North America or other areas outside of China, and are interested in teaching a covered subject in a Chinese college or graduate school, please find on line the Information and Application Procedures for the OYCF Teaching Fellowships at http://www.oycf.org/Teach/application.DOC. As noted therein, preference will be given to teaching proposals that include comparative or interdisciplinary perspectives are about subjects that China is in relative shortage of teachers, or will be conducted at universities outside Beijing, Shanghai and other major metropolises. This year, we intend to dedicate one of the eight fellowships as the West Region Teaching Fellowship to have one teaching fellow teach in a western inland province or autonomous region such as the Tibet Autonomous Region. Accordingly, teaching proposals especially designed for teaching in Tibet or other western regions will be given preference for this fellowship. Initial feedback from Tibet University at Lhasa suggests that applicants intending to teach in Tibet should consider adopting teaching materials in Chinese or more basic English teaching materials as a practical matter. To submit your application, you will need an application form, your curriculum vitae or resume, a detailed course syllabus, information about the host institution in China except for Tibet University, and a reference. Information and application form can be found at the above web address. You can visit http://www.oycf.org/Teach/fellowship.htm to take a look at syllabi and teaching reports from previous years. For more information about OYCF or its teaching program, please visit http://www.oycf.org. For questions concerning OYCF Teaching Fellowships or their application process, please contact teaching at oycf.org.

So I apologize if I post this message to the wrong list. My mom is here to visit me from China and she needs to see the doctor for a medical condition. Does anyone know how Boston medical center work? I heard it's free for people who don't have insurance and it's equivalent to Cook County hospital in Chicago. Does the free service apply for foreigners? Are there any criteria she has to meet in order to be eligible? Does it have to be an emergency case in order to be accepted by the hospital? Any information on or experience with this hospital would be greatly appreciated. You can send me email or contact me at the following phone number. Thank you very much for your time.
