US 274 Study Abroad in Global Philadelphia
This course is designed for students who have already had and returned from the opportunity to study abroad. It focuses on students’ experiences abroad in the context of their personal reflections on living in another country, their shifting perspectives on the world and their role in it, and the ways that their interactions abroad have had an impact on their understandings of the U.S. and what it means to be American and live in the U.S. In addition to focusing on the study abroad experience and potential shifts in students’ points-of-view, the course also assists students in thinking about their cross-cultural study abroad experiences in relation to living on the Glenside campus and in the Philadelphia region. The course embraces global learning in focusing on U.S. perspectives on the world and international perspectives on the U.S. as well as on the ways that food, water, oil and carbon cross national boundaries and illustrate the interconnectedness, interdependence, and inequality located wherever they have been abroad, in Philadelphia and in the world at large.
Prerequisite: Assumes students have studied abroad prior to taking this course.
