Since the Cuban revolution ended in 1959, the US embargo of Cuba began in 1960, and the US backed Bay of Pigs invasion failed in 1961, Cuba has held a unique place both in the Western Hemisphere and in the American psyche. For many Americans this has resulted in the formation of a myriad of perceptions and misconceptions about Cuba, which in many cases are based on very little information or fact. This May Term Study Experience will provide students with a firsthand opportunity to evaluate their own perceptions of Cuba and confront their misconceptions of this Caribbean island nation through the lenses of environmental science, environmental policy, politico-economics, music, dance, language, and culture. Students will also be immersed in the Spanish language during homestays and interview assignments, as well as the famous music and dance of Cuba.

In this MTSE we don't just study pilgrimage, we become pilgrims as we trek along the Camino de Santiago from the French Pyrenees to Finisterre - the end of the earth - on Spain's Atlantic coast. This is a journey of body, soul and mind for students who crave adventure and want an immersive experience. As we trek along what was once a primitive trade route, we will discuss the entrepreneurial drive that has supported and shaped the pilgrim experience. As we skirt mountains and move through verdant valleys, we discover how the environment has shaped the trail and how the pilgrim experience has shaped the world around it. In small villages and along the trail we immerse ourselves in language and culture as we communicate with residents, business owners, hospitaleros, and other pilgrims. For almost 4 weeks, we will live a simple life, carry what we need on our backs, sleep in familiar hotels and hostels called albergues, and experience the Spanish countryside and the incredible food and people of Spain. The physical demands of this pilgrimage, coupled with the camaraderie of students and faculty, create a transformative adventure that will define your college experience.
