The question mark in the course title provides a key to one of the central approaches of the course - is it possible to feel "at home abroad"? And are there ways to prepare that will make this a more likely outcome? The subtitle, "Ways of Learning Through Study Abroad," hints at multiplicity, suggests that the study abroad experience will be just that - an experience - with meaning at multiple levels. We will address several of these. For example, recent study abroad students will give practical tips on how to get the most from the experience. We will examine how assumptions and expectations can both support and undermine the experience and look at ways that students can better prepare to move across cultural boundaries. We will explore the relationship between the personal and the academic, with the particular goal of assisting students to be alert to the research possibilities of their time abroad without undermining the human contact that is so central to the experience. Each student will develop a potential research project that joins their particular interest in study abroad with their academic interests. While many students have trouble envisioning their time abroad before they go, this course can help you to do this and to thus make more of your time abroad.
