Histories of Resistance in Jamaica – Apply by 10/1 for a chance to win $250
Kingston city in Jamaica sunset
Study in Jamaica with Towson University in Spring Break 2020. Explore Jamaican literature, music, dance, and art by tracing the counter-cultural histories of Maroons (self-emancipated slaves), pirates, and Rastas. Through guest lectures, readings, performances, and site visits, we will consider how diverse ideas about race, spirituality, and class have shaped the culture and politics of Jamaica and the Caribbean. Highlights include a visit to Kingston’s Dub Club, Bob Marley’s Trench Town Culture Yard, and the Port Antonio seaside. Meet with Maroons in their communities, hike the Blue Mountains, tour the pirate city of Port Royal, view the street art of Fleet Street, and attend a Rasta session.
The full program itinerary and more program details are available online.
Apply today and be entered to win a scholarship. Students who complete their applications by October 1, 2019 will be entered to win a $250 scholarship to be used towards the cost of their program.
