Event Details

Currently, Macalester offers a few short-term faculty-led courses that include an international travel component. As the Strategic Plan specifically names a goal of amplifying opportunities for experiential learning, there is increased interest in and conversations about these types of courses. This talk will highlight three existing courses: January in Rome (Beth Severy-Hoven), Blacks in Paris (Duchess Harris & Julie Rogers), and Climate Talks (Louisa Bradtmiller & Roopali Phadke). In a conversation facilitated by Shanti Freitas in the Center for Study Away, faculty will share their experience leading students abroad including course structure, learning goals, and take-aways, and reflect on how others might learn from these examples.

All faculty and staff are welcome. Lunch will be provided.
