Media/Culture in South Africa

Catalog description

This summer program in South Africa offers students an opportunity to study through lived experiences - the culture, economics, and politics of pre- and post-apartheid South Africa. Students will accomplish this set of objectives by working as foreign correspondents, researching and writing multimedia narratives for The Hawk, Saint Joseph University's independent student-run newspaper. For the month in South Africa, students will report stories, go on field trips to historic sites, and interact with South Africans from all walks of life, in order to engage in thoughtful and meaningful discussions about issues of social justice.
