4.00 credits EXP3555 S. AFRICA: EPS, CULTURE, & SOC IN DEVELOPING ECONOMY 4 CREDITS (GENERAL CREDIT) This experiential, global service learning course will introduce students to the culture, history, politics, and economy of South Africa. Students will engage in in-depth study of South Africa's culture, history, politics, and economy before leaving for a 3 week in-country experience. The pre-trip phase will consider the effects of colonialism and apartheid rule on South Africa, as well as its development in the post-apartheid period (1994 - present). We will pay particular attention to the role of small-scale entrepreneurship in restoring balance to the segregated, oppressed communities of people classified as "black" and "colored" under the apartheid regime. Students will consider approaches to economic development in the post-apartheid period, including the effects of community and government programs and policies. While in South Africa, students will teach two week-long developmental entrepreneurship classes to students at eight local high schools in impoverished communities. We will travel to Capetown to visit major cultural, geographic, and historical sites on the weekend between teaching sessions, and students have the option of doing a safari experience at the end of the trip. Course credits will be divided into pre- and post-trip work: half of the credits will be earned through reading, writing, and other coursework in preparation for the in-country experience, and half of the credits will be earned through a reflective research essay to be produced upon returning from the trip. Prerequisites: OEM and MCE
