COM 272G - Intensive Course Abroad: Film in Berlin (4 Cr.) (GER 272G )
(GEN. ED. #3) This course will take students “on location” to Berlin. It will not only provide an overview of Berlin as a historic and modern city of film, but will also explore significant aspects of the contemporary film industry at the sites in Berlin. Students will discuss and write about Berlin film. They will also have opportunities to meet with representatives of film production and marketing companies, film schools, film festivals, and the Film Commissions. Prerequisite: GER 129 or permission of instructor. Summer. Larkey. INTENSIVE COURSE ABROAD: ALTERNATIVE MEDIA AND CULTURE IN THE BALKANS (3) (GEN. ED. #3) This course provides an international field experience in the arts, culture, and social activism in the recently-independent nations of the former Yugoslavia. The program will be centered in Ljubljana and Sarajevo, the respective capitals of Slovenia and Bosnia, and the cultural projects that have challenged political, social, and aesthetic conventions. Students will meet internet activists, filmmakers, event organizers, radio producers, and others exploring innovative approaches to media. The course will explore the dynamics of alternative media and cultural production. Summer. Alternate years. Marcus, Burns. INTENSIVE COURSE ABROAD: PSYCHOLOGY AND CROSS-CULTURAL COMMUNICATION IN BARBADOS (3) This is an international service-learning program. Distinguishing features of service-learning programs include: (1) grounding in discipline-specific learning objectives; (2) engagement in reciprocal service and learning relationships with community-based partners; and (3) structured critical reflection. During this program, students will either intern with the country’s only psychiatric hospital, or participate in a grassroots campaign designed to raise consciousness around issues of race, class, and/or gender representation within existing island media outlets. In addition to completing internships, our program students will participate in weekly didactic seminars in either Psychology or Communication. These seminars are designed to integrate content knowledge with experiential knowledge gained through interning. Finally, all students will participate in cultural excursions and possible guest lecturers designed to introduce students to Barbados’ rich history, traditions, and contemporary culture. Winter. Burton, Grayman.
