You will move beyond the textbook and experience Guatemala first-hand through one-on-one Spanish classes, homestays with local families, and daily excursions and activities that reveal daily life for ordinary Guatemalans in the 21st century. We will focus special attention on the contrasts between life and livelihoods in urban areas (Quetzaltenango) compared to the highland region (Santa Cruz del Quiché, Antigua, San Pedro), and the impacts — both positive and negative — of global tourism on local Indigenous communities.
Offered by Dr. Doc Billingsley
In this course, you will study the cultural and natural history of the National Parks of the American Southwest. After an initial period of on-campus study, we will "hit the road" and explore a selection of the following national parks: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Arches, Canyonlands, Mesa Verde, and Grand Canyon. We will hike canyons, enthuse over lizards, visit ancient cliff dwellings, gaze in awe at some extraordinary views, encounter people from dozens of countries visiting the parks, get sand in our shoes and our noses, use a lot of sunscreen, and return with many lasting memories.
Offered by Dr. Charlie Mitchell and Dr. Corey Stilts
