TU Social Permissiveness in Amsterdam: Perspectives on Race, Gender, Class, and Sexuality Study Abroad Opportunity
Study history, culture, and identity in The Netherlands in summer 2023. Immerse yourself in a culture which prides itself in social-political constructions like “acceptance” and “tolerance.” Explore cross-cultural topics like race, gender, class, and sexuality within a Dutch context. Based in the capital city of Amsterdam, the program features guest lectures, academic visits, cultural excursions, and more. Highlights include a canal boat cruise and visits to the Anne Frank Huis, Keukenhof Gardens, Rijksmuseum, and Black Archives. Amsterdam provides a rich backdrop of social permissiveness against which to study the linkages between culture, difference, and communication.
Participants will choose to take one of the following courses with Professor Michaela Frischherz for a total of 3 credits: COMM 494 Study Abroad in Communication Studies (3 credits), HIST 482 Interpretive Problems in History (3 credits), CLST 201 Identity and Culture (3 credits; Core 11), IDFA 471 Special Topics in Social Action (3 credits), and IDFA 571 Special Topics in Social Action (3 credits; grad only).
Full program details and the application are available in Horizons.
