Institution:

Taylor University

Subject:

Anthropology

Description:

The recent explosion of global travel for relatively short periods brings travelers into transient contact with people in different places. Such travel may have educational, recreational, religious, or service goals. Through anthropological readings, this course examines the nature of the intercultural encounters experienced on these trips, the motivations and outcomes of these trips for both travelers and hosts, and considers a wide variety of related dynamics. Students will be coached in engaging in research on course-related themes or in conducting research in preparation for their own upcoming global trip.
