Credit: 3 OR 6 hours.

Seminars introduce students to aspects of globalization through a case study of a particular location abroad. On campus, students explore historical and contemporary aspects of the location abroad to prepare for their field visit. Abroad, students engage with local resources and people to better understand how the local site contributes to and is impacted by relevant global processes under focus. Course activities will include a field site visit abroad, discussions, lectures, short essays, student presentation, and final projects. Topics vary according to site location and instructor expertise.

May be repeated in separate terms to a maximum of 6 hours.

This program will challenge preconceived notions about the meaning of globalization and development—specifically as it relates to and impacts Beninese individuals. It will also study policies and programs that have succeeded or failed to offer the right incentives to individuals (whether in a household, firm, village, or country) and how these policies have had a significant impact on people. A 3-day, 2-night homestay in a rural village is included. This program has no language requirement, but knowledge of French can enhance the experience. On campus meetings will occur, before departure, on the following dates: October 22, November 5, November 19 and December 3, 2019. You must apply to this program before registration. Applications are due September 15, 2019. See the Study Abroad website for more information.
