Topic: Writing about Cultures

Catalog description

In this course, students will begin by exploring their own "cultural intelligence" to develop the intellectual tools to look deeply into another culture, society or group and to understand the way their own cultural contexts create their ideas about the world. Using the itinerary of the trip as a starting point, students will study the culture and the places they will visit and create a series of cultural questions they hope to answer through their travel. During the travel portion of the course, students will engage in writing workshops and create works related to their travels.
