Subject:

Description:

This transformational course will explore the interaction of gender, leadership, and the global marketplace through independent research, formal classroom instruction, and service learning on a fair market coffee farm in Guatemala. The course begins with an overview of research on gender and leadership, the coffee industry and women's participation in the 2nd largest global market, and the importance and impact of education to women. This academic introduction is followed by a week long service learning and cultural immersion assignment in Guatemala where students will work side-by-side with coffee workers on special projects that are designed to support the goals of the families living on this fair trade coffee farm. The service learning experience will be followed by a reflection and synthesis of the experience with the conventional research based information that is introduced at the beginning of the course.
