For Educators

The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has launched an Academic Outreach Initiative designed to connect educators and students at the college and graduate level with CFR's research and nonpartisan analysis. CFR hopes to foster knowledge of and an enduring interest in American foreign policy through:
- An Academic Conference Call (ACC) Series that allows educators and students to engage in interactive discussions with CFR fellows and Foreign Affairs authors.
- Academic Modules — featuring teaching notes by the authors of CFR publications — are designed to assist educators in creating or supplementing a course syllabus. The modules are customized packages built around a primary CFR text, such as a book or report, and include teaching notes; additional readings; video, audio, and transcripts of CFR meetings; Foreign Affairs articles; and other online resources. Use of these modules is free of charge. They may be used in part or in their entirety.
- Live webcasts of CFR meetings featuring policymakers and scholars in timely discussions. After they have occurred, audio and video recordings as well as transcripts of these events and many others, are available in the Multimedia section.
CFR fellows also make regular appearances at campuses around the country to speak about their work.

In addition to the resources provided by the CFR Academic Outreach Initiative, Foreign Affairs is committed to serving educators and researchers with educational materials to help teach tomorrow's leaders and thinkers.
- Foreign Affairs Books are collections of important essays by academic experts, policymakers, and journalists. Easily accessible for classroom use, these essays frame current debates over crucial issues in American foreign policy and world politics.
- Custom Textbooks: Among Nations is an exclusive arrangement between Foreign Affairs and Pearson Custom Publishing. This innovative program enables instructors to assemble customized readers based on the vast library of articles published in Foreign Affairs and other prominent political science journals.
- Discounted Subscriptions offer students the low rate of only $18.
