Description:

One unit. This course combines volunteer work (over a period of roughly two weeks in January) in various locations in Latin America and Africa, as well as academic study. The volunteer work will typically involve working for service organizations such as orphanages, shelters, and schools. The coursework, which will be conducted prior to and after the trip, will focus around the recent political history of the country, as well as social and development issues. Students will be evaluated, in part, on their ability to incorporate their learning experiences from the volunteer work into their understanding of the academic subject matter. Site will vary. Offered every intersession.
