This course develops students’ abilities to understand and interpret systems and artifacts of another culture. Offered on-site, the course may focus on one or more dimensions of culture (social, artistic, political, etc.). The course will meet one or more of the learning outcomes of the International Immersion certificate, including skills of close reading, observation, and analysis, and increased cultural sensitivity (openness, empathy, curiosity). This is a variable course topic; faculty must complete a New Topic Proposal form as part of the approval process.
