inhabitants. We will first visit Glastonbury, Stonehenge and Tintagel, and stay for two weeks in the coastal town of St. Ives,

Cornwall, and then travel on to the small university town of Exeter and to London. The combined courses invite students

to explore how literature and place shape each other, and how places and ecosystems change over time, mainly due to anthropogenic interventions. Local guest lecturers and tours

will be weaved into both courses. A tour of the ruins of Tintagel Castle, for example, gives students the opportunity to

learn about one of the most important Arthurian sites in England and to study the process of legend-making as it is

tied to place.

This program has two main areas of focus. First, to familiarize students with the people and the cultures of the UK and the British Empire, with an emphasis on the city

of London. Second, to interact with local citizens to produce and edit a 10-12 minute documentary on various subjects to be determined by the students. Students will attend lectures about the culture and history of England in many of the key sights

in London and throughout the country. These sites include: the Tower of London, Windsor Castle, Hampton Court Palace, Westminster Abbey, the Museum of London,

the Churchill War Rooms, the Imperial War Museum (London and Duxford) and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. We will also visit Edinburgh, Scotland to discover the

close connection between the two cities visiting Edinburgh Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

This program consists of two courses: one being French language immersion, and the other a study of the regional French culture and history of Savoie. Both courses are held in Annecy, located in eastern France, between Geneva and

Chambéry. Annecy is one of the most beautiful resort towns of the French Alps and is often referred to as the “Venice of Savoie.” But Annecy is more than just a beautiful place to

explore. It holds a rich history that has made this region quite different from many others. Thus, the objective of this

program is to discover and examine the culture and history of the entire region of Savoie. A trip to Paris will launch this

special experience and introduce students to a city of considerable beauty and impressive history.

Berlin was a nexus of 20th century European culture. Through Nationalism, Fascism-Nazism, Communism and now Internationalism (the EU), Berlin has been

a symbol and often a victim of Europe’s idea of itself. In the 21st century, Berlin has become both the hope and the testing ground of what Europe will be in the next fifty years. This program will expose students—

through the practice of photography and design—to the follies of the past and the promise of the future, while training them in the discipline of developing a

considered visual response to direct observation.

rhetoric (Munich) and their tragic results (Dachau concentration camp) to modern reasoning (Brussels and

Amsterdam) and human rights (The Hague). We will stop over in Nuremberg (the site of Leni Riefenstahl’s greatest work and

the Nuremberg trials that inspired the Human Rights Declaration), Heidelberg (the national center of Sinti and Roma) and Strasbourg (home of the European Court of

Human Rights), with brief excursions to Tubingen, Hambach Castle and Bruges.

Students will travel to Munich, Nuremberg, Berlin, Warsaw and Krakow – cities that played central roles during the Holocaust and that continue to be central as sites of remembrance, memory and trauma. These visits are complemented by lectures, seminars and guided tours – given by faculty of the University of Munich, the Free University Berlin and the Jagiellonian University Krakow – as well

Iceland’s location on an active plate boundary (the Mid-Atlantic Ridge) and its location near the Arctic Circle makes it a great destination for environmental field study of young lava flows and volcanoes; older, uplifted and more deeply eroded rocks to the east and west sides of the active rifts; and both modern and ancient glacial processes. In addition to focusing separately on volcanic

and glacial processes, we will consider the ways that magma and groundwa-ter interact to create geothermal energy; how magma and glaciers interact; and how Icelandic society is influenced by these and other environmental

factors. This is a field-based experience, and most days involve hiking to and from the study area for that day. We spend most nights in tents.

This program studies two revolutions in scientific thought: the Scientific Revolution of the 17th and 18th centuries and the computational revolution of the 20th century. We begin with an exploration of the Scientific Revolution, as

exemplified by the work of Copernicus and Galileo in Italy. From our base in Florence and Rome, the heart of the Italian Renaissance, we trace the

evolution of scientific thought from the 16th through 18th centuries. We study the natural connections between the history of science taking place during

the Italian Renaissance through scientific outings to local museums, observatories, universities, laboratories and archaeological sites. We then contrast this material with key results from chaos theory, computational

complexity, logic, physics, quantum mechanics and the theory of computation, all developed in the 20th century. Students will visit key

historical, cultural and artistic sites in Florence, Rome, Pisa, Bologna and Vinci.

It often signifies inefficient use of resources, contributes to land use issues (e.g. landfills) and can initiate pollution in other mediums such as air, soil and water (e.g. incineration or leachate from landfills). We have a mounting problem with solid waste management

Focusing on the themes of conflict resolution, peace-building and nation-building, the Dialogue investigates conflict and post-conflict reconstruction in the former Yugoslavia (principally

Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia and Kosovo). 2015 is the 20th anniversary of the end of the Bosnian War (1992-95), which included ethnic cleansing, genocide and other war crimes - some of which

are still being prosecuted. In this program, we look especially at American efforts to end the bloody conflict in Bosnia (through the Dayton Accords) in 1995. Using the case study approach, this course examines the Balkans conflict from the break-up of Yugoslavia, the civil wars between and

among a multiplicity of nationalist militias, parties and movements, and the U.S. and NATO military strikes against Serbia during the 1990s.

The Act of Pilgrimage


Islam and Spain

This program provides first-hand experiences of the role of religion in Spain. First, we travel to southern Spain to an area that for centuries was a Muslim country

ruled by the Moors and called al-Andalus. Next, we head north to visit a pilgrimage route the Catholic Church promoted as part of its efforts to push the

Muslim Moors out of Spain: the Camino de Santiago de Compostela. We will spend two weeks as pilgrims, walking the last 150 miles of the route, and resting in towns that bear vivid material evidence of the popularity of this

practice through their ecclesial art and architecture. This unit will allow the student to explore the significance of pilgrimage by performing the

actions of a pilgrim.

During this program students will be immersed in Brazilian culture within the context of environmental preservation, sustainability, and economic development while learning Portuguese

and engaging in conversations with regional leaders and local residents. Environmental sustainability is of global concern due to the increasing awareness of global warming and the need for preservation. This program will provide an in-depth view of best practices used by organizations and locals to preserve the environment, while nurturing the sustainable growth of a region. There will be visits to the Maceio Industrial Complex, Petrobras, and Brasken Villages, as well as Project

Boi Marinho (Maragogi beach), which has garnered worldwide recognition for work related to the preservation of endangered aquatic mammal species in Brazil.

In recent years, many engineering and science students have developed an interest in applying their

engineering skills to diverse problems in biology, health, environmental studies and remote sensing. At

Northeastern, increasing numbers of students are working in imaging, through courses, research projects,

and cooperative education assignments. Students wishing to work in this discipline in the future require not

only strong technical skills (which transcend national borders), but also a knowledge of the financial, political, cultural, and social issues that vary from one country to

another. The theme of this program is international research and development. This program is designed

for students with an interest in optics or signal processing, or both.
