STUDYING THE WORLD ABROAD
Understanding yourself as a human being requires learning about others different than you
Since 2008 I have taken students to my native Brazil to learn the African Influences in the Brazilian Culture of the Northeast. Through this intensely rich experiential learning experience students reflect, analyze, and reshape their understandings of their contributions to the world as citizen artists.
PLANNING YOUR NEXT
STUDY ABROAD EXPERIENCE
My approach to Study Abroad is anchored in Experiential Learning Activities which are the pillars of each travel experience. Diverse schedules are provided, with alternate teaching and learning modalities targeted to movers and non-movers. Participants are challenged to question their knowledge, inherited biases, and their understanding of community engagement. In addition to classroom lectures and discussions, we engage in site visits, attendance at performances and rituals, and engage with members of the community to enrich and sediment the acquired knowledge.
