Fall 2018 September 5 – December 1, 2018
Program Description Brexit, geo-political shifts, and unexpected outcomes from elections confront us with questions of value and belonging. How better to explore them than by studying abroad in Spain, a country that is currently asking questions about identity and secession? Walking the streets of Madrid, visiting museums and palaces, students will live in the capital of one of the great European empires, which will anchor lively discussions about nationality and identity. Coursework includes American Literature 1865 present and British Literature, 1798 - present. The exciting, interdisciplinary coursework also immerses students in the language and art of Spain. Far from being disconnected from the present, the literature, combined with current events in Catalonia, allows students to return anew to the continuing consequences of the American Civil War. Additionally, many 20th century authors decided they wanted to live outside of their countries. They wanted to belong elsewhere, and wanted to promote a cause. These expatriate authors often found inspiration in Spain. As a Study Abroad student, your lived experience of colonial power will help you decide if, how, and when cultures and identities can - or should be melded. To immerse yourself into the culture even more, you can work in Madrid by applying for an internship placement. Additional charges apply.
