GBL 173 FINDING YOUR GLOBAL HOME

This course is designed to deepen intercultural student learning away from campus in a Study Abroad or Study USA location by learning how to more thoroughly engage in critical reflection of American culture and their own cultural preconceptions prior to departure, applying those sharpened skills while abroad to acquire a new and deeper intercultural lens through immersion in a theme highlighting cultural elements of their away location, and to enable students upon their return to use their theme to actively exercise and integrate these new skills into a richer intellectual life at Elon, a deeper comparative understanding of the Elon and Alamance County communities, and of the larger cultures within the United States.
