Students will be able to complete four full courses in the 2nd semester program of study in Greece.
World
Discovery 380
A full course,
taken as an elective and team taught by Profs. Shawn Carruth and Larry
Alderink. In preparation for our study and travel in Greece and Egypt,
we will study ancient Greek history, archaeology, and literature, including
the Odyssey by Homer and Ancient Greece: A Political, Social, and
Cultural History by Sarah B. Pomeroy, Stanley M. Burstein, Walter
Donlan, and Jennifer Tolbert Roberts. We will also tour archaeological
sites, museums, churches, monasteries, synagogues, and mosques.
Religion
318X
A full course,
taught by Prof. Shawn Carruth. Images and status of women in Western
and Arabic literature will be investigated from an interdisciplinary perspective,
with attention to the psychosocial and spiritual formation of contemporary
men and women.
Religion
334
A full course,
taught by Prof. Larry Alderink. Jewish, Christian, and Muslim religions
will be examined through study of scriptures and works written by representative
of the various faiths, including Greek Orthodoxy and (Egyptian) Coptic
Orthodoxy..
Independent
Study
This course allows
wide choice in topic, method, assignments, and faculty. Students
are free to work with a professor in their major, minor, or to do an elective.
Our contact in Crete, Ms. Fotini Georgiadou, will begin searching for opportunities
for academic and practical experience that will contribute to the course;
Ms. Georgiadou should be informed by mid-October of the topics of study
so she can make the connections for us to begin work soon after we arrive
in the first week of February 2000. Students are encouraged to meet
soon with Profs. Alderink and Carruth to discuss their independent study
projects, and to work closely with the academic advisors with whom they
will do their work.
