Program Description:
 
JOIN a band of ink-stained writer-adventurers for ten weeks of
concentrated exercise and conversation in and about the Eternal City.
This is Rome from a generalists's perspective: history and geography,
art and architecture, language and literature, the color and vagary and
flavor of daily life all constellate in the writer's notebook. Following
in the footsteps of those poets, painters, saints and soldiers who for
some two and a half millenia have traveled where all roads lead, we'll
sack the city word by cobble, in conversation, practice, and stride.
 
Courses and Credits:
 
ENGL 430:  Studies in Major Authors, D.H. Lawrence and Italy    5 credits
Professor Sydney Kaplan
 
Why did the impoverished son of a coal miner choose Italy as his escape
from the social constrictions of British society in the early
twentieth-century?  How did his Italian sojourns influence his
controversial ideas on art, sexuality, and politics?  The class will
pursue these and other questions as we read D.H. Lawrence?s writings
based on his experiences in Italy:  Twilight in Italy, Sea and Sardinia,
and Etruscan Places, and also novels (Aaron?s Rod and The Lost Girl),
poems, and short stories.  We will take advantage of the great
collection of Etruscan art at the Villa Giulia, and make excursions to
Cerveteri and Tarquinia to follow in Lawrence?s footsteps as he
discovered the significance of the ancient Etruscan civilization for
modern times.   We also will consider Lawrence?s work in relation to the
artists and writers of Italian Futurism, taking advantage of the
magnificent collection of Futurist Art in the Galeria Nationale d?Arte
Moderna.  Additionally, we will look at the very different reactions to
Italy of Lawrence's friend, E.M. Forster, in his novels Where Angels
Fear to Tread and A Room With a View.  (This course meets the Senior
Capstone Requirement for English Literature majors)
 
ENGL 283/383/483 or 493:  Sacking Rome                5 credits
Professor Richard Kenney
 
Rome from a writer?s perspective:  what can we carry away?  Notebooks in
hand, we?ll test that question in reading, writing, and conversation.
We?ll consider what it means to be an artist, walk the cobbles daily,
fill a writer?s sketchbook, and so in literary terms sack the city at
the center of the world.
 
ENGL 363:  Literature and the Arts and Other Disciplines        5 credits
Professors Richard Kenney and Sydney Kaplan
 
Roam Rome with experts in its art, architecture, history, and culture.
Learn enough Italian to purchase a peach in the future tense.  This
diverse course will involve guest speakers, field trips, and Italian
Language instruction.
 
All classes will be held in and around Rome, and at the University of
Washington Rome Center at the 17th century Palazzo Pio, situated in the
vibrant center of the city?s historical district.
 
Cost
 
Program fee:  $4,400
Rome Center Fee:  $2,200 (undergraduates), $3,200 graduate students)
Non-refundable IPE fee:  $250
Total fees:  $6,850 (undergraduates), $7,850 (graduate students)
 
The program fees include accommodation, tuition, facilities at the
Palazzo Pio, field trips, excursions, and most program-related admission
fees.  It does not include airfare, board, health insurance, books, or

We are looking for students to participate in the 2010-2011 exchange program 
with Sichuan University in China and would really appreciate your help in 
forwarding this e-mail on to students or groups who might be interested.
 
The UW-Sichuan University Undergraduate Exchange Program is a unique chance for 
UW students to not only live and study in China but to engage in a hands-on, 
self-directed research project overseas. The two or three quarter program 
offers intensive Chinese language training, additional classes offered in 
English and an amazing chance for students to research a topic of their own 
choosing. Sichuan University's location in western China means that students 
have the opportunity to travel and do research in places such as a national 
park in the eastern Himalayas or remote minority villages in southern Sichuan. 
The program is open to all majors and is a great opportunity to make huge gains 
in Chinese language skills and to really engage with China.
 
/**We will be having an open information session with the Program Coordinator 
and the 2008-09 program alum on November 18, 7:00 pm in HUB 209B.** /

School of Drama Study Abroad in Rome: Spring 2010

http://courses.washington.edu/rome10/index.shtml

The School of Drama is thrilled to offer its first annual spring-quarter study abroad program in Rome, Italy, offering a total of 15 credits: 

Staging the City (Drama 494 - 5 credits)
Art and Identity in Early Modern Rome (Art H 497 - 5 credits)
Students will also complete an Independent Research project 
(Drama 499 - 5 credits)


INFORMATION SESSION: Wednesday October 21st, 3:30 p.m.
Room XXX Hutchinson Hall


Staging the City:  
Performance, Power, and Identity in Rome from Empire to the Enlightenment
March 29 – June 4, 2010

 

Using 1,500 years of performance traditions - plays, pageants, spectacles and gladiatorial games, opera, literature, art and architecture - this broad humanities course considers how Rome created, maintained, and promoted its own image of imperial and cultural power - first as the heart of the Roman Empire, then as the capital of Catholic Christiandom, later as a city of Papal Princes, and the epicenter of high culture on any European tour.  How Rome occupied its unique charismatic position in European history is largely a product of its own self-promotion.  Rome the city invented Rome the ideal, and that act can be read as a powerful performance of civic identity. 

The program is conducted at the Palazzo Pio, the University of Washington’s Rome Center, located in the historic center of the city. The palazzo, a fully remodeled seventeenth-century structure that sits on the foundations of the ancient theater of Pompey (55 B.C.), rises next to the Campo de’ Fiori, one of Rome’s favorite locales, a bustling open market during the day and lively social venue at night.

Cinema Studies is thrilled to offer its first annual winter-quarter study abroad program = in Rome, Italy that will consist of three courses that fulfill 15 credits:

The Eternal City: Rome in World Cinema and Literature (5 credits)

From the Soviets to Italian Neorealism (5 = credits)

The Power of Images, the Art of Propaganda (5 = credits)

January 7  – March 12, 2009

Rome Onscreen: The Eternal City in Cinema

In a country known for its rich film tradition, the Italian   capital of Rome remains   one of the most cinematically recognizable cities on the globe. All the great   Italian auteurs – and many from other countries – have shot films   here: Fellini, Rossellini, Wyler, Minghella, de Sica, Pasolini, to name a   few.  This 15-credit course of study, part of the UW Cinema Studies program, offers students the chance to explore Rome as film object and as a living,   breathing metropolis – in the process discovering the ways cinema recreates   real time and space in accordance with its makers’   vision.
Through courses examining the visual representation of Rome in   art; the important film movement of Neorealism (as well as its antecedents in   early Soviet silent cinema); and the ways writers and filmmakers of different   nations have depicted the “Eternal City,” program participants will   come to know Rome the ancient capital and modern mega-city, along with its   filmic, literary and artistic incarnations.        
The program is conducted at the Palazzo Pio, the University of Washington’s   Rome   Center, located in the historic center of the city. The palazzo, a fully   remodeled seventeenth-century structure that sits on the foundations of the   ancient theater of Pompey (55 B.C.), rises next to the Campo de’ Fiori,   one of Rome’s favorite locales, a bustling open market during the day and   lively social venue at night.

CampusPoint International Program – CIP: Live and Work Abroad!

THE PROGRAM:
The CampusPoint International Program (CIP) is an opportunity to live and work abroad for a year. The CIP is open to all majors and requires no specific experience!

THE POSITION (AND THE PERKS): 
- CIP participants will work as conversational English teachers in a public school setting. 
- A standard fulltime working schedule of about 40 hours per week, Monday - Friday
- Tax free compensation sufficient to live rather comfortably abroad while also saving money
- Free single apartment provided with no roommates
- Airfare to and from overseas destination included 
- About 3 weeks paid vacation
- Health insurance benefits 
- Training and orientation provided 

CAMPUSPOINT ADVANTAGES: 
The opportunity to live and work abroad isn't new - but CampusPoint's approach is completely new. 

WHY CHOOSE CAMPUSPOINT?
   We've got "Something in Common!"  
- Virtually all CIP participants are recent college graduates from Washington and Oregon - and CIP is committed to making sure our participants have access to one another both before and after they arrive overseas. 

   Make New Friends at the Going Away Party - Plus More!   
- CampusPoint sponsors a FREE Going Away Party about one month prior to every CIP group departure. Once abroad, the CIP provides easy web-based access to contact information for all CIP participants - even those you didn't meet at the party! 

   Work in the Same Geographic Area as other CIP Participants!   
- What good would it be to be acquainted with other CIP participants if you don't work in the same geographic area? Thus, the CIP makes an effort to "cluster" CIP participants in similar geographic regions. 

   Public Schools instead of Private Schools!   
- Virtually all CIP positions are located in public schools. This means CIP participants receive training and orientation, are guaranteed daytime work hours with weekends off, and best of all, will be partnered with a professional "co-teacher" for the duration of their employment. Above all else, public schools offer a stable, consistent, and predictable work environment. 

   Face to Face Recruiting Process!   
- Call us old fashioned, but all CIP candidates actually meet the CampusPoint staff members responsible for helping them live and work successfully overseas. They'll also meet former overseas program participants and be able to ask questions. 

   In Country Support Available - if Needed!   
- Through an innovative partnership, CIP actually has on-the-ground, in-country support available should you need it. 

THE BOTTOM LINE: 
There are other ways to find jobs like those offered by CIP - but you won't find the CIP advantages anywhere else. 

THE REQUIREMENTS: 
In order to participate in the CIP, we require: 
- A bachelor's degree in any major from an accredited college or university 
- No criminal history whatsoever including DUIs 
- Excellent health
- Be a native English speaker (English is your first and primary language)
- The ability to get a passport from one of the following countries: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa or Australia

ON THE WEB: 
Join CampusPoint to learn much more about the CIP! Online you'll find:
- Graphical explanation of the application process
- A highly in-depth FAQ covering every aspect of the program
- Slideshows showing life in Korea
- Detail job description
- Much more!
Best of all - you can apply!

wonders of the world, the temples of Angkor Wat.  Ride a "tuk-tuk."
 
 	Here are a few comments from past course participants:
 
"My experience in Cambodia animated everything I had previously learned
about humanitarian work and policy making. Both the difficult and
disheartening things I saw there remain continuing motivation in my
educational and professional pursuits."
 
 
 
"This was one of the most important courses out of my entire educational
development.  I not only learned about the current hardship that Cambodia is
facing with rebuilding, but I learned about myself as well, and that would
not have been possible in any other setting."
 
 
 
"I would absolutely recommend this course.. it was such an incredible and
worthwhile experience for anyone interested in Cambodia, social work, human
rights, development, policy and public affairs, international relation,
history."

today in terms of social justice. I'm continually re-thinking and building
on what I learned there, and applying various issues we studied to different
areas of the world. ....My experience in Cambodia has been the foundation
for my ambition to study immigration law in the future."
 
 
 
"I'm a changed person and have gained numerous perspectives that will be
beneficial for the future."
 
 
 
"Studying abroad in Cambodia is a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience,
surprisingly filled with all different levels of emotions. This
unforgettable experience allowed me to share my knowledge and passion with
others, in hopes of helping to open their eyes to issues going on in
Cambodia as well."

Utopian Visions in a Postcolonial Setting: Working Towards the Goal of Human
Unity
CHID International Program in Auroville, India
 
Information Sessions in Padelford C-101
Weds, May 13 at 4:30 and Thurs, May 14 at 4:30
 
Studying in Auroville is an exciting opportunity to learn about literary
utopias/dystopias and theoretical writings about the formation of
intentional communities while living within and participating in one.
Auroville was founded in 1968 in South India by The Mother and other
followers of Sri Aurobindo with the intention of establishing a universal
township open to men and women from across the globe. While Auroville is
non-sectarian, spirituality is a core value for the community and all
members are expected to be committed to the goal of human unity. Auroville
is a complex community that struggles with the legacies of colonialism and
the difficulties of making a sustainable community in a difficult physical
environment while remaining faithful to the vision of The Mother.
 
This program is open to students from all majors. 
Participants will earn full-time UW credit and maintain their financial aid
eligibility and resident status.
Drop by an info session to learn more, obtain scholarship information, and
meet the faculty.

There are two spots left in the Greece 2009 summer study-abroad program that runs from August 11th to September 12th.  All students receive 13 UW credits for the program.
 
Students will conduct an actual ethnographic research study involving Greek 
youth and social/political activism.  Our goal is to actually publish the

graduate-level seminar, with students in the field gathering data.  We will 
also present the findings at the end of the program in a conference-like 
setting.
 
We will be working with accepted students to receive scholarship monies for the program.
 
All excursions, hotel stays, trips to the islands of Hydra, Santorini and Ios, 
group meals, and all other travel accommodations are included in the program

JOIN a band of ink-stained writer-adventurers for a month of concentrated
exercise and conversation in and about the Eternal City. This is Rome from a
generalists's perspective: history and geography, art and architecture,
language and literature, the color and vagary and flavor of daily life all
constellate in the writer's notebook. Following in the footsteps of those
poets, painters, saints and soldiers who for some two and a half millenia
have traveled where all roads lead, we'll sack the city word by cobble, in
conversation, practice, and stride.

The Summer Creative Writing in Rome Program is open to anyone
(undergraduates, graduates, alumni, citizens-at-large) seeking to join an
intensive program in the written arts.

*Application Deadline:  Friday, March 6th.*

How to apply:

Please submit a Letter of Interest, along with names and contact information
for two academic references, to both Rebecca Hoogs and Johnny Horton.  This
may be done by email [rhoogs@gmail.com and jwh476@gmail.com], or by regular
mail, care of the UW English Department (attn: Bridget Norquist.)

Your letter should outline your academic background and writerly interests
and experience, remark on your reasons for wanting to go to Rome, and
highlight what positive and special contributions you might make to a group
constituted for maximum imaginative adventure in one of the world~Rs most
remarkable settings. Formal training in creative writing is less important
to us than pluck, serious enthusiasm, and reliably good humor. We will spend
an intensive month in close quarters, at elevated temperatures and unfamiliar cultural pressures: you must be good company. With that caveat in
mind, the program is wide open. Writers at all levels of experience are
encouraged to apply.

  UCL has recently launched a new Global Citizenship program. One of two major 
  parts of the program is an undergraduate Study Abroad Year organised by STS. 
  The big idea is that undergraduates visit UCL for a year, or part of a year, 
  during which they take several courses centred in science and technology 
  studies while at the same time developing global citizenship skills.
  
  For example they could take part in an action-based course where they 
  collectively design and promote a campaign around a global issue. There are 
  also courses on the politics of science and global climate change, mass 
  media, technologies, globalization and so on.
  
  They would also have the opportunity to select from a range of courses on 
  global issues taught by other departments atUCL. For those undergraduates 
  that were interested we would also try and place them on a short internship 
  in an London-based organisation working on issues related to global 
  citizenship. All together it is, I think, a novel way of broadening 
  undergraduate experience while using the critical insights of science and 
  technology studies to change the world for the better.

We welcome students with a 
  background in natural sciences, humanities or the

The deadline for students to apply for the 2009 
International Field Study Program - Indonesia has been extended to MARCH 6.
 
Professor Randy Kyes has led this summer program since 1995. It's appropriate 
for both undergraduate and graduate students--and is an excellent opportunity 
for students who are interested in conservation biology, animal behavior, 
primatology, environmental science, and/or global health to experience 
firsthand the demands and rewards of living and conducting research in tropical 
field conditions.
 
This year's program runs from the 2nd through the 29th of July. The field site 
is Tinjil Island, a remote island off the southwest coast of West Java, 
Indonesia. The island has been developed as a natural habitat breeding facility 
for longtailed macaque monkeys and is also home to bats, a number of bird and 
reptile species, and a wide variety of insects and crustaceans.

A-Term Summer 2009 foreign study program 
to Serbia and Bosnia  - we study the literature and the history of 
conflict and reconstruction in the contemporary Balkans. We have extended stays in two unique cities, Sarajevo and Belgrade, and make shorter visits to Mostar and Vukovar, sites of considerable wartime conflict and of present efforts to build bridges across the resulting divide. Of course, the region is also a place of great beauty and cultural complexity, that has known as many periods of coexistence as it has known conflict, an intersection of Slavic Language, Ottoman and Austrian culture and of Muslim, Jewish and Christian religion. I have attached a brochure and a poster depicting the restored exterior of Sarajevo's Vijecnica library destroyed during the conflict and now the subject of much conversation about its role in post-conflict Bosnia.
 
It has been a truly transformative experience for the faculty and the students 
who have built this program over the course of the last five years, and I hope 
you will consider applying.

*Exploration Seminar in the Kumaon region of the Indian Himalayas from
August 30 - September 21, 2009*
 
Information sessions on Jan 29, Feb 12 and Feb 26 from noon-1 pm in Gould 100. 
Meet Manish Chalana, Program Director, and participants from last year's 
program and learn about the specifics of the 2009 program.
 
To apply see UW Exploration Seminar website:

For additional information see India-Himalayas course website:

For Scholarship information:
http://depts.washington.edu/explore/forstudents/financialaid.htm
One important deadline for summer program “GO!” Scholarships is coming
up fast (Feb 5).
 
About the Seminar
The India-Himalaya program will focus on integrated community planning
and development in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand state. The first half of 
the program is based in Sonapani where students will interact with the various 
institutions and organizations in the lower Himalayan areas to understand a 
variety of approaches used in integrated rural
development work. After becoming familiar with the different approaches
to rural development the class will shift base to the village of Sarmoli
in the upper Himalaya. Here students will participate in the community
based tourism program administered by the Village Council. The Sarmoli
homestay program is in response to the growing tourism that is emerging
as a powerful new force, and promises to bring economic benefits to the
communities, but at the same time, threatens existing cultural and
ecological patterns of the region. Students will have an opportunity to
understand the specifics of this program and explore ways in which the
current model could be expanded to other villages, and also include
micro finance and cultural heritage preservation. Students will engage
in a 4/5-day hike to remote villages around Sarmoli to assess the
portability of the Sarmoli model. The final projects will build on work
produced by the 2008 Exploration Seminar, and address the themes of the
class. The results will be presented to the community at the conclusion
of the seminar. Fieldwork will rely on survey, interviews and focus
groups. The work would be carried out in small teams; field
translator(s) will be available as needed.

Must be at least 18 years old and not older than 25 at the time of application
Must be currently enrolled in an accredited U.S. college or university in the United States
 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Call for Applications:
The United States believes that peace depends upon building strong foundations of knowledge that bridge nations, enlarge freedoms, and promote democracy.  The U.S. National Commission for UNESCO Laura W. Bush Traveling Fellowship was established in 2008 to enlist young Americans to work toward this end.  The Fellowship provides supplemental funding for applicant designed proposals to conduct brief activities in a foreign country related to the mandate of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) - using education, natural sciences, social and human sciences, culture, and/or communication and information to build strong ties among nations.
 
On September 12, 2002, President George W. Bush addressed the United Nations General Assembly and announced the intention of the United States to return to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), ending nearly a twenty-year absence from the organization, to further help build these foundations.   In February 2003, First Lady Laura Bush was designated by UNESCO as an honorary ambassador, and seven months later Mrs. Bush led the ceremony raising the United States flag at the 32nd UNESCO General Conference, officially marking the return of the United States to UNESCO membership.  It was in the spirit of this dedication to international issues and to furthering human dignity that the U.S. National Commission for UNESCO Laura W. Bush Traveling Fellowship was created.
 
The Fellowship is intended for American college/university students who express an interest in international collaboration but as of yet have not been afforded many opportunities to travel abroad. The length of time for the travel is expected to be between 4 and 6 weeks and should include interaction with individuals from other nations.  More information on the program can be found at: www.state.gov/p/io/unesco/c25462/htm.  Thus far, U.S. National Commission for UNESCO Laura W. Bush Traveling Fellows have traveled to and conducted meaningful work in: Honduras, Guatemala, India, Afghanistan, Dominican Republic, and Kyrgyzstan.
 
The Commission has opened the next call for the Spring/Summer 2009 round of applications for the U.S. National Commission for UNESCO Laura W. Bush Traveling Fellowship for those traveling between May and August 2009.  The deadline for applications will be March 1, 2009 (5:00pm EST).  Eligibility and details about the application process are posted at: http://www.state.gov/p/io/unesco/c25426.htm

Tokyo, Hong Kong: Asian Cities, Hybrid Urbanism
 
Applications are being accepted for --
 
UW Exploration Seminar -- Tokyo, Hong Kong: Asian Cities, Hybrid Urbanism
Mid-August to Early September, 2009
 
http://courses.washington.edu/asiacity/
http://depts.washington.edu/explore/programs/2009/japanhk.htm
 
Dense, compact, hybrid, and dynamic are words often used in characterizing the 
urban landscapes of Asian cities. The fluid matrix of social life, urban 
spaces, and mass transportation along with proximity of activities and services 
clearly distinguishes the landscapes of major Asian cities from their North 
American counterparts. This traveling seminar will engage in a close-up 
examination of the urban landscapes of Tokyo and Hong Kong, two iconic cities 
of Asia.
 
Specifically, we will investigate how the urban forms and processes of Tokyo 
and Hong Kong respectively support the everyday life of their millions of 
residents and workers; how they reflect their distinct urban culture; and how 
they function as complex and hybrid urban systems. We will experience the city 
from the street level and taste its flavor from the street vendors.
 
The course will explore various methods of investigation in examining the urban 
characteristics in selected locations within the two cities. Daily activities 
include guided tours, on-site mapping exercises, guest presentations, and 
interactions with the local professionals and citizens. The program will spend 
the first half in Hong Kong and second half in Tokyo.
 
The course is open to all students. Participants will earn 5 credits of L ARCH 
495 Landscape Architecture Studies Abroad. Credits for other courses and VPLA 
requirement can also be arranged.
 
Program Fee: $2600; IPE fee: $200. Merit-based $1,000 are available for 
students going on this and other East and SE Asia programs. To apply, please 
visit: http://depts.washington.edu/explore/forstudents/financialaid.htm. 
Deadline: January 30, 2009.
 
Information meetings: Friday, January 23 (Gould 100), Wednesday, February 4 
(Gould 114), Friday, February 20 (Gould 100) -- all from 5:30 to 6:30pm. 
Students are required to attend one meeting to be admitted into the program.

28.  The proposal description is attached, but you can also find it on the 
Exploration Seminar page of the UW web site very soon.  I was told all students 
would be informed by e-mail.
 
Although the course is open to all undegrads, I would like to have a large 
portion of students attending to be communications majors.  It will affect how 
I plan details of the course.  E-mail me about questions about the course and 
how you can get credit for COM 478 Intercultural Communication (5 credits) 
or/and COM 498 Independent Studies (5 credits).

Communications and Culture in Buenos Aires
2008 Exploration Seminar in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Program Director: Kathleen Fearn-Banks, Communication
Dates of Instruction:   August  28  to September 22, 2009   

	Argentina has a vibrant cultural life and a distinctive and unique style.  European and American influences are apparent in its architecture, art, music, films and cuisine.  It also has a diverse population with interesting class cultures as well as women’s issues. 

In this course, students will observe or/and experience mass communication, interpersonal communication, intercultural communication.  Through involvement and observations, they will explore various forms of culture, both high culture and popular culture. The essential point of the class is to observe how culture affects communication and conversely how communication affects culture.  (Readings and instruction will be forthcoming.)

Students will be required to visit various sites of mass communication – an international public relations agency, a newspaper, a TV station, an international wire service, and perhaps other outlets.  They will also share experiences with communication majors at Universidad Argentina de la Empresa.

No more than half of the 25-day period will be spent on organized tours. The balance of the stay will be determined by each student and his/her interests.
	 
 Each participant will be required to experience and explore sites (primarily of his/her choice) in the fine arts as well as sites of popular culture. However, he/she may concentrate on one particular area of culture in exploring the intersection of communication and culture.  For example, students interested in art may spend much of their time in art galleries like the Museo de Arts Espanol.  Students interested in architecture may travel throughout Buenos Aires and study its historic buildings (Palais de Glace, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, etc.).  Students interested in music may attend sites of opera, classical music and/or jazz, rock and blues venues.  Those interested in theatre may study Teatro Avenida, Teatro Cervantes and others.  Popular culture also includes fashion, culture clubs, film, soccer, dance.  Cuisine is also very important to the culture and the course. 
Students interested in women’s issues, ethnicity, or religion may concentrate on this in their time in Buenos Aires. Spanish (the language of Argentina) students may study the language as used in mass communications as well as inter-personal communication. The possibilities are only limited to what is available to observe and explore in the city.


Course Objectives
1.	Students completing the course will be able to contrast and compare mass communications outlets in the U.S. and Argentina.
2.	Students completing the course will be able to recognize elements of the culture of Argentina in general and Buenos Aires in particular.
3.	Students completing the course will develop their own theories of how culture impacts the media and how media impacts culture. 
4.	Students completing the course will broaden their world view..
5.	Students will have fun.

During the summer of 2009 The Washington Center will be providing
students extraordinary academic experiences combining study abroad with
an internship. Students will be able to attend one of our four intern
abroad programs in London, England, Oxford, England, Sydney, Australia or Quebec City, Canada. Designed as a seminar in the nation's capital
followed by an internship placement with programming and rigorous
academic study in one of the above cities, each program will help your
students gain a valuable comparative understanding of culture and
professional life--an important asset in today's global workforce.
 

The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars is a
non-profit organization that has provided college students with an
integrated academic and work experience in Washington, D.C. for over 35
years. In that time we have worked with more than 40,000 students from
colleges and universities across the country and the globe--and in the
last few years have begun to send students abroad.
 
Students interning abroad through The Washington Center during summer
2009 will attend a brief seminar which introduces them to the U.S.
capital and their destination city prior to flying off to the U.K.,
Australia or Canada. There they will intern full-time in a tailored
placement, complete academic course work and participate in programming
activities as well as have the opportunity to travel. They'll learn to
appreciate another culture and expand their knowledge of our increasingly
global world.
 
If you'd like to enroll in one of these programs, you should submit an
application through our online system before our deadline of February 27.  Prior to submitting your application you must receive approval from your campus liaison. If you aren't aware of who to be in touch with at your college or university, please email us at info@twc.edu.

The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is pleased to announce the
second year of an intensive scholarship-supported summer
seminar/internship program in Berlin for American journalism and
communications students - called "internXchange". We would be delighted
and very grateful if you could help us spread the word about this
exciting new opportunity among your students, faculty and fellow staff.
The program is targeted at undergraduate students, but a limited number
of Master's students may be accepted.
 
For the first six weeks of the internXchange program, participants will
take part in a seminar series to expand their academic understanding of
the politics, society and culture of Germany, and the country's current
social conditions and media scene. During the second week, students will
complete a project with journalism students from the Independent States
of the former Soviet Union. The final five weeks consist of an intensive
internship with a German newspaper, magazine, radio station or PR firm
in or near Berlin. A complete program schedule will be available soon on
the program website.
 
The 20 applicants who are finally selected for the program will be
awarded a monthly stipend of 650 Euros for the duration of their stay in
Germany. DAAD will also provide participants a partial travel subsidy of
650-975 Euros (depending on US city of origin) towards the cost of
international transportation to Germany; travel costs not covered by the
partial subsidy must be paid by the individual program participants
themselves. DAAD will also provide health and accident insurance. There
will be a program fee of 140 Euros.
 
The application deadline is January 31, 2009. The 40 applicants who are
invited to a selection interview in New York City (in early March) will
receive up to $300 toward the cost of their flight to the interview
location.

Representatives from Macquarie University and University of Sydney 
will be at the Study Abroad Fair tomorrow, October 22nd. The fair will be in 
Mary Gates Hall Commons from 10am-2pm.
 
We have openings for direct exchange opportunities with Australian National 
University and University of Western Australia for Semester 2, which runs from 
July through November. Both universities are members of the elite Group of 
Eight, a coalition of leading Australian universities.
 
The University of Western Australia (UWA) ranks second in Australia for quality 
of undergraduate studies. UWA is located in Perth, which offers all the 
benefits of a diverse cosmopolitan city. Perth has a good bus and train 
service, making it easy to get around the city and to the main UWA campus.
 
Australian National University (ANU) commands a magnificent position between 
lake and mountain in the center of the nation's capital, Canberra. It is the 
political apex of Australia, housing the Federal Parliament. A significant 
benefit of our exchange with ANU is the potential to participate in an 
internship program for credit.
 
Applications for both programs are due by December 18th. Interested students 
can meet with me during my drop-in hours from 10am-1pm on Wednesdays or email 
me at ericdean@u.washington.edu.

________________________________________________________
Program Descriptions:
 
Cape Town - "Hip Hop and Activism"
The intention of this program is to provide an understanding of the historical and cultural factors that have contributed to ethnic divisions in South Africa. Our focus on music and politics will allow students to study the historical origins of social conflict while also engaging directly with artists, educators and activists, who are working to create from the past new possibilities for the future. Students will participate with a series of historical and theoretical readings, focusing on a general overview of the region as well as the role of music in social movements both pre and post Apartheid. We will learn some background about different kinds of traditional South African music and early jazz (we are planning to attend the Cape Town jazz festival in March), but our main focus will be on hip hop culture, music, and activism.

Rome - "Roma Eterna"
Rome, established in 753 B.C., is one of the oldest continuously inhabited urban environments in the world. It has survived through various transformations for almost 3,000 years. It constitutes a complex living museum of human cultural enterprise in which several layers of historical development can be explored in one site. As a result, Rome provides a unique setting for examining the various ways in which human communities create a sense of meaning and order through their ongoing re-appropriation of the past. The focus of this course will be on a comparative analysis of the way in which Rome has been modified over time to reflect different conceptions of human identity and community through tours of its prominent historical sites together with a focused inquiry into its multiple layers of historical significance.

Prague - "Discourses of Change: Continuities and Transformations in Central and Eastern Europe"
Prague is one of the most historically and culturally rich cities in Europe. Relatively spared from natural disasters and war, Prague boasts a magnificent range of architecture. Communism has also left a very strong imprint on Prague and Czech society, leaving behind not only legacies of authoritarianism, but also socialist housing structures and monuments. These different layers of Czech history make Prague an ideal place in which to explore the complex relationships and contradictions that together have made up the history, culture and politics of the region. The Prague Program combines academically rigorous seminar-style courses, international field trips aimed at provoking personal reflection and exploration. Students will critically explore the intersections of Central European history, society, and politics, but also, in the process, become themselves transformed by the places, people and ideas they encounter.

Ioannina, Greece - "Greek Culture and Regional Tensions"
Greece is the birthplace of democracy and Western Civilization in general. It is located at the crossroads between Europe, Asia, and Africa. Politically stable and economically developed, Greece is the first country in the Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean region to have become a full member of the European Union, including participation in the Euro zone. As such, Greece plays a significant role in guiding her neighbors in their ambition to join the European Union. The Greek program will focus on the study of Greek language and culture, and Greece and Albania during the age of nationalism. Students will attend the University of Ioannina with Greek students. They will visit thousand year-old theatres and other Greek and Roman sites in the surrounding area, Byzantine churches, remnants of the Ottoman rule, and places where the Greeks of modern times made sacrifices in the defense of freedom.
 
 

National Geographic Glimpse - international journalism


The Glimpse Correspondents Program is an exciting opportunity to hone your skills, to jump-start a career in international journalism, and to be published
with National Geographic Glimpse. We are now beginning our search for our
next team of Glimpse Correspondents.  We are looking for The best and brightest storytellers who will be living abroad in Spring 2009.

See: glimpse.org/correspondents
 
The application deadline is coming up on Nov. 2. 

Thanks in part to your efforts last spring, over 4,000 students and recent graduates signed up to receive the Fall 2008 application, and more than 650 completed the rigorous application process. We selected an incredibly talented team of eight Correspondents in August, 2008 and look forward to working with them to craft some amazing stories this fall.
 
_______________________________________________________________
 
What is Glimpse?

Glimpse is a new nonprofit National Geographic platform (print magazine and website) about the experiences of young Americans abroad. We provide professional editorial support to help students learn the craft of storytelling, with the larger goal of using stories to inspire others to care about the world. Glimpse has offered students a platform for their stories for the past six years. Now with National Geographic, we are hoping to take our work to the next level. To read past stories, visit glimpse.org. (The new and improved website will be up soon!)
 
What is The Correspondents Program?

The Correspondents Program is for especially talented students specializing in writing, photography or video. We will select 10 correspondents and each will receive a $600 stipend, a professional editor, and guaranteed publication in Glimpse. The demands of the program are not extreme, but we do expect our correspondents to commit to a professional editorial process.

How can students get involved?

Students should visit glimpse.org/correspondents and register their email
address to receive a link to the application.
 
Are there other ways to involved with National Geographic Glimpse?

Yes! Anyone who has lived or is living abroad is eligible to contribute. Students can find guidelines at: glimpse.org/guidelines.php. Students who apply to the program and are not selected as Correspondents will still be encouraged to share their stories while abroad and will be notified of any new contribution opportunities.

 There is still space available in the English Department Spring London Program. This program is open to students in all majors. 

We will be holding an information session for all interested students onFriday, October 3rd, at 3:30pm in Thompson Hall, room 211. 

More information about the program can be found here: http://depts.washington.edu/engl/abroad/london.php

During Spring Quarter 2009, the Department of English will again offer its highly successful program of study in London. We have found that by keeping our numbers small, by tailoring our courses to what is immediately able to be seen in London and in England, and by asking students to actively participate, everyone emerges feeling fuller, as students, as tourists, as people. 

The program will consist of four courses: London Theater, taught by UW English Professor Tom Lockwood, and Modernist London, taught by UW English Professor Jessica Burstein. Art, Architecture, and Society will be taught by Professor Peter Buckroyd, and Contemporary Britain will be taught by Professor Michael Fosdal, both British faculty who are experienced teachers of American students. (Three classes are considered a full-time load, but students may take all four if they wish.)

Students in the program will maintain their UW residency and any financial aid eligibility already established. Credits earned will be recorded on students' UW transcripts and apply directly to UW graduation requirements. Credits earned in English courses may be used to satisfy requirements for the English major.

Study in London, Spring 2009!

Spring Quarter might seem like a long way off, but now is the perfect time to
begin planning for study abroad.  Applications to the Spring in London Program
are accepted on a rolling basis, and this popular program does tend to fill
quickly.

Since 1986, the UW English Department has been offering this highly successful
program, and as of Spring 2009, the program will be in its 23rd year.  Spring in
London students live like Londoners.  They stay with host families in and around
London, and the city itself is their classroom. Most classes are taught in a
parapatetic fashion, (i.e., 'walk and learn') in order to take full advantage of
being on-site. Excursions to places like Stratford Upon Avon and Stonehenge are
included.

See below (or the attached flyer) for more information.

Students in all majors are encouraged to apply.  All participants will earn 15
UW resident credits, and will maintain Financial Aid and Scholarship eligibility
already established.

There will be two information sessions offered this fall, and you are also
welcome to contact me with questions.  Applications are available in the English
Advising Office, room A2B Padelford Hall, or by request.

Best Wishes,

Bridget

Study in London with the English Department
Spring 2009 (March 26 – June 5)

Fall Quarter Information Sessions:
Friday, October, 3, 2008 at 3:30 pm (Room# TBA)
Friday, October 24, 2008 at 3:30 pm (Room# TBA)

Courses:

Earn 15 UW credits while maintaining UW residency and Financial Aid eligibility
already established.  Participants select three of the four courses below, and
may take all four if they wish.

London Theater:  ENGL 444 Dramatic Literature, Special Studies (5 cr, VLPA)
Taught by UW English Professor Tom Lockwood

London is a great theater capital, immensely vibrant and competitive. Each week
of this course we will be reading a play and then seeing it performed, with
focus on the work both as a reading text and performance piece. Extras may
include backstage tours at the Globe or National Theater, the London Theater
Museum, a talk to the class by a working London actor.

Modernist London:  ENGL 490 Study Abroad (5 cr, VLPA)
Taught by UW English Professor Jessica Burstein

Urban epicenters, like London, are linked with the rise of modernism and the
avant-garde. This course takes the city as its focus to examine modernist
culture from the late 19th to the late 20th century. After a discussion of
/flâneur/ a Parisian invention encompassing the street walker (in both senses)
as spectator and spectacle and the idea that there is something inherently
modern about a metropolitan psyche, we will move on to prose—by Wilde, Woolf,
Waugh, and maybe Martin Amis--that features pedestrians and focuses on the city.

Art, Architecture and Society:  ART H 399 Special Topics in Art History (5 cr,
VLPA)
Taught by British Faculty, Professor Peter Buckroyd

This course is interdisciplinary.  The material is London itself.  The course is
taught entirely on the streets and in buildings, ranging from medieval,
Elizabethan and Jacobean to Victorian, modern and post-modern.  Field trips to
Stonehenge and elsewhere are included.

Contemporary Britain:  HIST 490 Topics in History (5 cr, I&S)
Taught by British Faculty, Professor Michael Fosdal

This course introduces students to various aspects of life in Britain, from
royalty to the homeless, from politics to sport.   The emphasis is on direct
contact with people and institutions and examines such issues as race, crime,
family, and the problems and delights of being young and British today.

Eligibility:  Any UW student who has completed a UW literature course at the
200-level or above is eligible.  Applications are available in the English
Advising Office, A2B Padelford Hall, or upon request.

Cost:  Program costs will not be determined until fall quarter, but at this
point Professor Streitberger, the London Program Director, estimates that the
cost will be between $6600 and $6900.  This price includes instructional costs
(i.e. ‘tuition’), housing and board (two meals per day) arranged with
families in London, a London Transport Pass (good on all underground trains,
over ground rail, and busses between homestay zone and central London), all
theatre tickets, museum admissions, and transportation to and from program
excursions.  Does NOT include airfare, lunches, or the $200 International
Programs and Exchanges fee.

University of Washington -  Department Of Communication
 Application for Rome Program
Winter Quarter 2009

UW Department of Communication
Study Abroad Program in Rome, Italy
Winter Quarter 2009

Applications are invited for the Communication Rome Program during Winter Quarter 2009, which will be based at the UW Rome Center for the sixth consecutive year. Students will earn a total of 15 UW credits, 10 of them in Communication. 

Participants will gain significant skills through living in a different culture, speaking a foreign language, and experiencing firsthand the excitement of Rome, wellspring of Western civilization and culture. There will be excursions to relevant sites in Rome and other parts of Italy. Students often make their own travel plans to other parts of Europe over weekends.
Professor Anthony Giffard, the Program Director, will teach a five-credit course (COM 425/EURO 425). This course will examine communications media and information society policy in the context of changing cultural, economic, political and technological developments in the European Union. 

Dr. Lisa Coutu will teach a five-credit course (COM 478), in which you will learn key concepts and theories in the field of intercultural communication and improve your intercultural interaction skills to benefit both work and travel. 
Dr. Susan Sanders, a Rome-based instructor, will teach the course on Roman Civilization. Her lectures will take place on-site at important museums, art galleries, churches, and architectural and archeological locations.   That course, together with lessons in Italian from a language school, Italiaidea, will count for five credits of European Studies (EURO 490) that can be used for distribution requirements.

The UW Rome Center provides a scholarly workplace in the city's historic district, offering outstanding facilities for academic programs from a wide variety of departments. The Center is located in the Palazzo Pio, a 17th Century palace built on the ruins of the ancient Theater of Pompey. It overlooks the lively, colorful Campo dei Fiori, site of Rome's largest daily flower and produce market, and is within easy walking distance of the most important monuments in Rome, such as the Vatican and the Roman Forum. Students have accommodations in completely furnished apartments in the vicinity. 

Participants pay their regular UW tuition fees that cover the 10 Communication credits, plus a program fee that pays for the Roman Civilization and the Italian language courses,   their accommodations, excursions, and admission to sites we visit. They also pay their own airfare to Rome and back, and their food and entertainment expenses. The program fee likely will be about $4,500, but may change as a result of the dollar/euro exchange rate. (The UW calculates that it costs an undergraduate student a total of about $5,000 a quarter to study on the Seattle campus.)

Any UW student may apply, with Communication majors getting priority.

We would like to bring to your attention a new exciting Exploration Seminar (5
credit course):

"Russian Talk: Communication, Culture, & Health in Sochi, Russia."

It offers unique opportunities for undergraduate and graduate interdisciplinary
research in language, interpersonal, and cross-cultural communication.

It will take place in Sochi, a beautiful part of Russia near the Black Sea, Aug.
28-Sept. 16.

Russian is among the fastest growing languages in use in the U.S. but students
unfamiliar or new to the language are most welcome.  The non-Russian speaking
students will be assisted by students in Sochi who have volunteered to serve as
translators, as needed.

One of our tasks will be to explore specifically Russian ways of communicative
verbal and nonverbal behavior. The fieldwork sites include Sochi health spas,
schools, and local colleges where we will observe, video-record, and analyze
natural conversations.

Professor Zaitseva of Slavic Department, UW, has doctoral training in Slavic
linguistics pragmatics and discourse analysis [PhD, Harvard].

Professor Lewis, The Bloedel Professor, UW, is a member of the School of
Nursing, and has doctoral training in the behavioral sciences and health
behavior research [PhD, Stanford].

Field research and field trips, coupled with lectures, seminars, and readings
will all be part of this exciting educational opportunity for the students.

Please see the poster attached and the doc. with research details.

Arab and American Identities in Tension

2-week Exploration Seminar in CYPRUS

Info Session in Schmitz 459, Wed., Feb 20 at 4pm.

 

Is there really a culture clash between East and West?  What can American
and Arab students learn from each other?  In a globalizing world, does it
even make sense to divide our identities along these lines?

 

You can explore these questions and reach across this socially
constructed divide with a group of students from UW, the American
University of Cairo, and the Lebanese American University during a 10 day
seminar in Cyprus.  Participants will live, study and explore together in
a small village in this Mediterranean country that has long been a
meeting ground for political players in the region. Classes will be
taught by UW Professor Arzoo Osanloo (Anthropology, LSJ) and AUC
Professor Eric Goodfield (Political Science).

Immigration, Education & Identity in Italy
Program Director: Manka Varghese
August 25 - September 19, 2008

Course Description:

Historically, Italy was one of the leading countries of emigrants - their
citizens created homes in a number of other countries, especially the United States - now it is a major destination for immigrants from countries as varied as Romania, Sri Lanka, the Philippines and Morocco. This seminar investigates immigration and identity at several levels through the lens of schooling, which is a central institution in the formation of identities and the lives of its citizens and residents.

Program descriptions below:
 

The Summer 2008 CHID Study Abroad Program in Prague, Czech Republic
explores the dramatic social, cultural and political transformations of
the 20th century in Central and Eastern Europe. The 15-credit program
surveys Central and Eastern European history, politics, art and film,
examining such themes as resistance to authoritarianism, gender equality
and human rights, nationalism and ethnic violence, globalization and
environmental justice, and the role of the European Union in shaping
discourse in these areas.

During the Prague Program, we visit quite a few cultural sites and
activities. We pay close attention to both regular and one-time Prague
cultural events, such as exhibitions, performances and various kinds of
festivals well in advance of the program and try to integrate the most
relevant and interesting offerings into our classes.

The program will also include some big field trips. Planned site visits
include the Hungarian capital Budapest, the ancient Polish city of
Krakow, and domestic visits to Moravský Krumlov and the beautiful UNESCO
town of Cesky Krumlov.
 

The Vietnam program is composed of three courses: one seminar, on applied
project, and one language course. This program is especially well fitted
to the needs of Asian and International Studies majors but also meets the
requirements of several other majors at UW.

In addition to the coursework, students will participate in numerous
excursions. The excursions include visiting various locations near Hanoi
(where students will reside when not on excursions), Ha Long Bay, the
historic town of Hoi An in central Vietnam and the southern metropolitan
area of Saigon

Finally, a two-credit, weekly pre-departure seminar will be required in
the Spring 08 (CHID 496) - Weds. 11:00am to 12:00 pm. This seminar will
provide basic background information on Vietnam, orient students to the
academic expectations of the program, and allow the group to get to know
one another.

These programs are open to students from all backgrounds. All students
are encouraged to apply.

Tokyo+Seoul Exploration Seminar: City, Streets & Hybrid Urbanism

This traveling seminar will use the streetscapes of Seoul and Tokyo as
the medium for understanding the dense, multilayered, and hybrid urban
landscapes of Asian cities. Specifically, we will investigate how the
streetscapes in Seoul and Tokyo support the everyday life of their
millions of residents and workers; how they reflect their respective
urban culture; and how they act as connective tissues in the complex
urban systems. We will experience the city from the street level and
taste its flavor from the street vendors. Daily activities include
walking tours, guest presentations, on-site exercises, and independent
projects.

Exploration Seminar to Georgia, the Country
CompLit 320, CHID 471, SISRE 490, or REECAS 499
August 25-September 19, 2008

Golden Fleece, Panther Pelt, Rose Revolution:  Under the Skin of Today's
Georgia

An emerging democracy of 4.5 million citizens, Georgia (Sakartvelo)
exists at the crossroads of East and West, its nascent democracy under
fire, locked in a feud with Russia, while a darling to the West.  Despite
civil and separatist wars in the early 1990's, and political and economic
stagnation until the Rose Revolution of 2003, Georgians' passion for
celebrating life and the glory of the Tamada has never wavered. The
country enjoys a vibrant culture, but one that is little known or
understood outside of its borders. Georgia is one of the economically
poorer of the former Soviet republics (60% unemployment), yet it has been
voted one of the most progressive, eager to modernize and democratize in
hopes of joining NATO and the European Union. Few countries offer the
opportunity to witness and study the trials and tribulations of the
transition to democracy and market economy that Georgia does today.  In
this Seminar, we will explore Georgia's history and culture as the key to
understanding its current state of transition:  Why was Georgia a haven
for Russian writers of the 19th century, for Soviet artists in the 20th?
How is Georgia managing to maintain its traditions and sense of national
identity and yet interface with the West?  What makes Georgian national
identity so strong and its culture so appealing? 

Students will live in home-stays, travel from the Black Sea to the
Caucasus Mountains, attend concerts, Grape harvest, and more.  No
language requirements - students will access the culture through films,
translations, on-site exploration, and interactions with student peers.  
Participants can earn 5 credits of CompLit 320, CHID 471, SISRE 490, or
REECAS 499.

shown.

I want to tell you about a 5-week study-abroad program I am leading to Athens
this summer worth 13 credits (8 Communication and 5 Geography) from mid-August
to mid-September.  I have lead this program for the past 3 years and invite you
to join me for our special fourth-year journey to Greece.

The purpose of the program is to introduce you to a unique and vibrant culture,
that combines elements of the new and the old, sometimes extremely old.  We
visit ancient sites, we go to my home village of Vitalo on the Greek island of
Evia and we tour other Greek islands, including Santorini and Naxos.

The trip also introduces you to conducting original research in Greece. You'll
be interviewing Greeks involved in "civil society," or those activities that
create the inner-workings of a healthy democracy.  You will also be working with
students from the Athens University of Economics and Business.

It is a journey that I hope that develops your thinking as a global citizen and
makes you learn about a different but rich culture.

If you want more information, please email me. Space is limited - only 14
students can participate.

The Consequences of Coffee: 2008 Exploration Seminar in Costa Rica and
Nicaragua

Program Director:  Max Savishinsky
Dates of Instruction: June 23 to July 11, 2008
4 weeks - 5 credits (SISLA 399 or CHID 472) - $2,750

Coffee is 2nd only to petroleum in world market value with the US
consuming 1/5 of the world's annual production. A world crash in coffee
prices, trade issues and environmental abuse have taken a severe toll on
the welfare of farmers, animals and the land in developing countries,
where most coffee is produced. This program will examine the continuum,
contrasts and consequences of coffee production in and between two of the
most important coffee countries, Costa Rica & the U.S. Students will also
look at the new coffee boom in Nicaragua and the many contrasts between
Nicaragua (the 2nd poorest nation in the hemisphere) and Costa Rica, one
of the wealthiest and best-developed.

The program will travel extensively in Costa Rica and Nicaragua to
explore coffee farming, processing, certifying, marketing and exporting
though visits to small family farms, large corporate coffee farms and
cooperatives. We will explore the commercial, social, environmental
aspects of coffee production & trade, and talk with individuals and
organizations at the forefront of efforts to improve the economic, social
and environmental realities of those on the producing end of the coffee
continuum.

 * 
See the 2007 course website to learn more about the program.

Students will learn the art of coffee "cupping" - the process
professionals use to assess the many qualities of coffee beans, and come
to understand where coffee comes from, where it ends up, and why.
Students will study what makes good coffee good, the complex process of
converting the sweet coffee fruit into a consumable coffee bean. Most
importantly, you will look closely at how and at what expense coffee has
come to be such a critical commodity both in world trade, local
economies, and in the lives of millions of people who produce, consume
and trade coffee around the globe.

We will also look back at coffee in the U.S. - specifically at Seattle as
a critical world coffee hub - and reflect through personal interviews,
discussions and journals on our own relationships to this commodity which
is a fixture of contemporary life in the places we live and study.
Throughout the program students will undertake field-based inquiry to
answer to the core questions of this seminar:

 * 
Where does coffee come from? How is it produced, why do we drink and pay
so much for it?
 * 
What do "organic", "shade grown", "direct trade," "single origin" and
"fair trade" mean, and why should we care?
 * 
How effectively do these production and trading practices protect
farmers, consumers, wildlife and the earth, and to what extent do they
promote sustainability?
 * 
Why do so many coffee farmers live in poverty when Seattleites make good
money through coffee jobs and investments, and pay three times for a cup
what a farmer gets paid to grow a pound?
 * 
What can we do - as coffee consumers, employees, investors - to make the
system fair & sustainable?

This program includes: all in-country transportation in and between Costa
Rica and Nicaragua, all housing, approx. 2 meals per day, numerous course
site visits (farms, coops, businesses) and extra-curricular field trips
(rafting, rain forest, hot springs, volcanoes, lakes, waterfalls) and
more. Participants will earn 5 credits of SISLA 399 or CHID 472, Latin
American Foreign Study (I&S).  Participants should check with their
advisors to determine how these credits can count towards departmental
requirements.

Program Director: Program Director Max Savishinsky directs the UW's
departmental study abroad programs and the Exploration Seminar series at
the UW. He has led numerous study abroad programs on a range of topics in
Latin America and the Caribbean. He has special expertise on Costa Rica
and the coffee industry, and is a fluent speaker of Spanish. For more
information or to contact former program participants, please contact
msavvy@u.washington.edu

Student Costs:
$ 2,750 Program fee
$ 200 IPE Fee
Additional costs include round trip travel to Costa Rica, some meals, and
personal expenses.  The program will provide participants with all
housing and on average two meals per day.

2008 EXPLORATION SEMINAR IN SIERRA LEONE: ETHNOGRAPHIC METHODS & THE
CULTURAL PRODUCTION OF A RURAL-URBAN 

PROGRAM DIRECTORS: BROOK KELLY (BBKELLY@U.WASHINGTON.EDU) AND CLARKE
SPEED (LANDOGO@U.WASHINGTON.EDU)
DATES OF INSTRUCTION: JUNE 16 - JULY 10, 2008

THIS EXPLORATION SEMINAR IS AN INTENSIVE ETHNOGRAPHIC THEORY AND METHOD
COURSE BASED IN MAGBAIAMBA NDONHANHU CHIEFDOM IN NORTHERN SIERRA LEONE,
WEST AFRICA. OUR WORK OVER THIS INTENSIVE FOUR WEEKS IS AS MUCH RESEARCH BASED AS IT IS EXPERIENTIAL TRANSFORMATION. STUDENTS ACCEPTED TO THE SIERRA LEONE ‘SEMINAR’ COMMUNITY WILL INITIATE SEED PROJECTS THAT BUILD A FOUNDATION FOR LARGER, LONGITUDINAL, STUDIES THAT HOPEFULLY CULMINATE IN GRADUATE AND PROFESSIONAL DEGREES; MOREOVER, WE WILL WORK TO GRASP AND ANALYZE COMPLEX SPACES AND SIGNS OF CULTURAL, COLONIAL, AND HISTORICAL ALTERITY THAT FORCE STUDENTS TO STARE BEYOND THE ABYSS OF SELF INTO THE DEPTH OF HUMAN STRUGGLE AND DIFFERENCE.

STUDENTS WILL BEGIN PREPARATION (TAKING A FIVE CREDIT SEMINAR IN SPRING
2008) FOR RESEARCH PROJECTS THAT WILL EXPAND THEORY INTO RADICALLY
DIFFERENT REAL HUMAN PRACTICES. POSSIBLE STUDIES INCLUDE PUBLIC HEALTH,
WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE KNOWLEDGE, RURAL-BASED ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY,
SUBSISTENCE AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES, LOCAL FORMS OF TRADE, CHIEFDOM  LEVEL POLITICS, DANCE, BELIEF, AND RITUAL PERFORMANCE, AMONG OTHERS. WE WILL BEGIN TO LEARN KRIO (THE LINGUA FRANCA), AND BASIC LANDOGO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE; DAILY LANGUAGE LESSONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE TRIP. ONE’S DEDICATION TO LANGUAGE ACQUISITION WILL GREATLY DETERMINE SUCCESS ON THE GROUND.

ONCE IN SIERRA LEONE WE WILL SPEND ONE DAY IN FREETOWN, THREE WEEKS IN
KAGBERE VILLAGE (THE CHIEFDOM HEADQUARTERS) IN NORTHERN SIERRA LEONE, AND TWO DAYS IN FREETOWN PRIOR TO OUR FINAL DEPARTURE. IN KAGBERE VILLAGE, STUDENTS WILL LIVE WITH LOCAL FAMILIES, EITHER SINGLY OR IN PAIRS. WE WILL EAT COLLECTIVELY TWICE A DAY.  DAILY ACTIVITIES WILL INCLUDE, AMONG OTHER THINGS, INTERVIEWING INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS, PARTICIPATING IN FARMING, COOKING, AND HOUSEHOLD TASKS, AND GROUP WALKS TO SURROUNDING VILLAGES. THERE IS NO RUNNING WATER, ELECTRICITY, OR PLUMBING. KAGBERE IS DEFINED BY RURAL, SUBSISTENCE, AND POLITICAL PRACTICES. TO REITERATE, THERE ARE NO WESTERN FACILITIES IN KAGBERE. THIS IS A UNIQUE TRIP THAT REQUIRES PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, SPIRITUAL, COMMUNITY, AND PROJECT DETERMINATION.

NOTE THAT THIS PROGRAM IS A SUMMER AND NOT AN EARLY FALL PROGRAM: UNLIKE OTHER EXPLORATION SEMINARS, THIS IS A SUMMER PROGRAM THAT HAS IMPORTANT APPLICATION TIMELINE, CREDIT, PAYMENT AND FINANCIAL AID IMPLICATIONS.

Program synopsis:
[LINK]In this semester-long program, we will conduct a comparative
feminist exploration of the interplay of race, gender and nation in
images and stories of immigration in the United States and
Denmark.  Students enrolled in the program will live and take classes at
Roskilde University (www.ruc.dk), which is 25 minutes by train from
Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen.  All students will take the program’s core
course, “Images and Stories of Immigration,” taught by the Program
Director, Serena Maurer, and the Program Assistant, Laura Newlon.  They
will also take one core course and one thematic course with faculty in
Roskilde’s Cultural Encounters program.  The courses with Roskilde
faculty will explore issues of identity, culture, difference,
nationality, race and ethnicity.  Regular program excursions to sites
that will help us explore images and stories of immigration (e.g.
museums, neighborhoods and public and private organizations) in
Copenhagen and Roskilde will supplement students’ work in the classroom. 
All students will also work together to produce group projects that
explore some aspect of race, gender, nation and immigration in the U.S.
and/or Denmark. Students will have the opportunity to complete these
projects in collaboration with public or non-governmental organizations. 
They will also be encouraged to take a creative approach to these
projects that incorporates, for example, visual art, literature, and/or
documentary film.

 

 *  Students from all majors and backgrounds are welcome
 *  20 – 25 UW credits
 *  Federal Financial Aid can be applied

Come visit Professor Norman Wacker in Padelford C-101 on Friday the 11th
to find out about the foreign study program offered through Comparative
History of Ideas to the Balkans.
 
CHID Lounge - Padelford Hall - UW Seattle
2:30 P.M.
This Friday - January 11th
 
Outsiders have viewed the Balkans as a zone where religious and cultural
differences breed sectarian violence and where competition between
empires East and West compounds instability and conflict. Three U.W.
Bosnia-Croatia-Serbia Exploration Seminars and recent scholarship on the
region, offer an alternative account, of religious and cultural
coexistence as the norm through much of the region during the early
modern period and in the former Yugoslavia after World War II.
 
If peace has often broken down along religious and ethnic lines, the
peace has often held across them. Through close study of the Yugoslav
conflict and of the post war peace in Bosnia-Herzegovina (BH), Croatia
and Serbia, we will ask ourselves how best to understand Balkan myths and
realities and where they shed light on why at times the peace has held
and at others has broken.
 
Sites: Belgrade, Dubrovnik, Sarajevo, Mostar, Vukovar, Kosovska Mitrovica,
Tuzla and Srebrenica.
 
This program is open to students from all backgrounds. All students are
encouraged to apply.

For Fall Quarter 2008 (October 4 to December 6), the Department of
Comparative Literature will offer again its interdisciplinary program
of study in Paris.  This program offers students a unique opportunity
to earn 15 UW credits while living and studying in one of the most
vibrant and beautiful cities in the world.  The program is open to all
UW  and non-UW students with an interest in the humanities and arts,

"Making Place: Tourism, Culture and Global Communication"

Please find the attached information sheet about this exploration seminar I'll
be directing in summer 2008.

Dowload the attached PDF or visit this webpage:
http://courses.washington.edu/com322/

EXPLORATION SEMINAR IN SWITZERLAND MAKING PLACE: TOURISM, CULTURE AND GLOBAL COMMUNICATION

PROGRAM DIRECTOR - PROFESSOR CRISPIN THURLOW

DATES OF INSTRUCTION
SUNDAY 22 JUNE – SATURDAY 19 JULY, 2008

This Exploration Seminar will help you understand some of the human
consequences of globalization by studying the important role communication plays in
tourism as a global cultural industry. As the world’s single largest trade, tourism is a
powerful factor in shaping everyday interpersonal, intercultural and international
communication. Nowhere is this more apparent than Switzerland – the birth
place of modern tourism and a country which embodies the challenges and
successes of multilingualism, multiculturalism and multinationalism. Since the
1850s, Switzerland and especially Interlaken (our base for the seminar) have organized and promoted themselves as the quintessential tourist destinations. In the face of global warming, European/EU politics, and international economics, this “production of place” is also being constantly revised. In June 2008, as co-host of the European Cup football (‘soccer’) tournament, Switzerland becomes yet again a major focus of cultural production.

The seminar will be an enjoyable learning-by-doing experience and you’ll be involved in a series of practical projects involving different theoretical issues and key research skills (e.g. visual ethnography, text analysis). In doing so, you’ll be examining the linguistic, visual, material and spatial strategies used to represent and promote Swizterland as a global tourist destination. You’ll also study how visitors and local people interact in tourist sites. It’s in this way that the seminar will address the darker side of tourism as well, by considering how the making of place and the production of culture always overlook many areas of life. So, for example, one assignment will have you undertaking “counter tourism” in Geneva, following non-touristic routes through this
global diplomatic city and developing an alternative tourguide script. Through a series of fieldtrips, hands-on projects, and guest speakers you’ll be asked to evaluate critically the implications of tourism for human communication on both a local scale and a global one.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS
Crispin Thurlow, the program director, was born and raised in England, before living for twelve years in South Africa, eight years in London and six years in Wales. He moved to the USA five years ago and is currently a professor in the UW’s Department of Communication. In 2007, he received the university’s Distinguished Teaching Award. As the teaching assistant for this seminar, Kristine Mroczek brings both a professional and academic knowledge of the tourism industry. Her graduate research is rooted in intercultural communication, discourse analysis and visual communication.

CREDIT
In taking this Exploration Seminar, you will earn five credits in COM 322 Global
Communication. (Alternatively, you may earn five credits of CHID 471 Europe Study Abroad – counts for I&S credits). You should check with your advisors to determine how these credits can count towards your own departmental requirements.

PRE-PROGAM REQUIREMENTS
There are no course prerequisites for this seminar. However, once accepted, you will be required to attend three pre-program meetings in the Spring quarter. These will entail a general “gettingto-know you” session, a very basic crash-course in everyday Bärndütsch (the local dialect of Swiss German), and the assigning of a small project to be completed before and upon arrival in Swizterland.

STUDENT COSTS

IPE Fee $200 / Program Fee $2,900

The program fee covers home-stay accommodation (with local Swiss family, including
breakfasts), month-long Swiss travel pass, museum entrance fees, opening and closing night events, and main excursion fees. Additional costs include round-trip fare to Zurich/Geneva, health insurance, personal spending money, any visa-related costs for non-US/non-EU passport holders. The instructors will also work with any of you wanting help finding the most affordable flights (e.g., a cheap group booking). Scholarships are available for financial aid students and some funds are available to other students through the International Programs office. 

APPLICATION
Competition for Exploration Seminars is often strong and you are advised to apply sooner rather than later. Your acceptance will be based on a written application (see box below) in which you’ll be asked to give some basic information about yourself as well as a short statement about your reasons for applying to this particular seminar. Once you’ve been short-listed, you may also be asked to attend a short interview.

For more information about this seminar please email com322@u.washington.edu or visit the main
