Location

in

The geographic focus of the program is Madrid, a city of four million inhabitants, and the provinces of Segovia and Salamanca. Madrid has a dynamic cultural and social life. While modern and very active, it provides access to small towns and villages of more traditional appearance and customs. Within easy reach are the historical cities of Avila, Segovia, El Escorial and Toledo, and the Guadarrama mountains -- popular for skiing, hiking and other sports. Students often comment that "there isn't time to see and do everything in Spain."

The Madrid Stage

A study of the contemporary theatre in Spain with a focus on the current season through readings, interviews, discussion and weekly theater attendance.

Migrations and Cultural Diversity

in

Students will become familiar with migration and cultural diversity in Spanish society from an anthropological and socio-cultural perspective. The course will introduce basic notions of socio-cultural anthropology in order to understand contemporary migrations; describe characteristics and problems of Spanish society in the framework of cultural diversity; apply methodological tools of anthropology to present-day Spain.

Orientation

in

Fall semester: Immediately upon arrival in Madrid toward the end of August, students travel to Salamanca for a 3-4 day orientation program. The orientation introduces students to Spain, prepares them for the courses they will be taking and for the village stays, and enables group members to become acquainted with each other. In addition to daily work in the language and culture, the program includes several cultural visits.
