This course is about moving between countries and cultures. It significantly draws on participants' personal experience; offers contextualization, conceptualization, theorization, and evaluation of living and studying abroad, both in social-political and individual-experiential terms. Reading of critical and literary sources (including film) from a range of social-science and humanities disciplines. The course examines manifestations of ethnic, linguistic, gender, and power relations as perceived and lived by participants in their experience of another country and culture, and provides space for analytical reflection.
