Summer Abroad Overview The Summer Abroad programs are designed to enrich students’ academic lives by providing an exciting and educational international experience. Students complete full-year University of Toronto undergraduate degree credit courses from the Faculty of Arts & Science that are relevant to each location. Relatively small classes (about 25 students on average) are taught by University of Toronto professors or faculty from the host university. All classes, with the exception of language courses, are taught in English. One of the most important and engaging aspects of these programs is that the learning is not limited to the classroom. The locations themselves become your “living textbook.” You will observe and experience many of the things you study, including the language, history, culture, art, religion, business, and politics of the host country. In keeping with the University of Toronto’s policies on equity, diversity, and excellence, the Summer Abroad programs strive to be fully inclusive. Studying abroad presents unique challenges in regard to equity issues. However, we seek to ensure to the greatest extent possible that all students enjoy the opportunity to participate in these programs. Our support for equity is grounded in an institution-wide commitment to achieving a working, teaching, and learning environment that is free of discrimination and harassment as defined in the Ontario Human Rights Code.

Accommodation & Flights The University of Toronto arranges for students to live in the host site’s student accommodation or with local families for the duration of the program, and, for most programs, to fly to the destination as a group. Arrangements are made for participants in the group flight to be transported from the airport to the host site’s student housing; other students must make their own way to the host site. Except where noted, students may choose to make their own travel and housing arrangements. For example, students who wish to travel on dates that differ from the group flight dates must arrange their own flight. On the other hand, private accommodation abroad is often limited and varies in quality; as a result we generally recommend that students use the housing provided through the Summer Abroad program unless they stay with family or friends, or are very familiar with the program site. The University of Toronto does not assume responsibility for any accommodation and/or flights arranged independently. Note: Be prepared to live in an environment as experienced by local students. This includes services and facilities not always being equivalent to what you may be used to in North America. As with any international travel, you should be prepared to adapt to local customs and standards that may be disconcerting initially, but that ultimately will broaden your understanding and appreciation of the host country and its culture.

Until you receive this notification your admission to the program is not guaranteed, and so you should NOT make any final plans (e.g., booking your flight).

Who is Eligible to Participate? The UofT Summer Abroad programs are open to North American university students in good standing, as well as alumni. Anyone enrolled at a school other than the University of Toronto may apply as a Visiting Student. All students must meet the program admission requirements in order to participate. Further details are listed below. In addition, three programs require a minimum CGPA at the time of application: • China (Shanghai): CGPA of at least 2.5 • Japan (Tokyo): CGPA of at least 3.0 (and is only open to U of T students) • Science Abroad: Admission is based on CGPA, response to a questionnaire, and an interview, as required 6

a) University of Toronto undergraduate students • UofT students who have completed one or more courses must have a CGPA of at least 1.5 at the time of application. • First-year students with no final grades yet may also apply. • Students on Academic Probation or Suspension at the time of application are not eligible to participate. b) UofT students in a professional faculty or graduate program • Most students registered in professional faculties or graduate programs may enrol in Arts & Science courses as electives. • Please check with your faculty to ensure that you have permission to enrol in the course you have chosen. Once admitted, additional information may be requested from you to assist us in your registration. c) UofT alumni • All degree graduates of UofT are eligible, although students should check with their home faculty/division about re-registration procedures. For example, Arts & Science alumni may need to reactivate their college registration before they can be enrolled in a Summer Abroad course. d) Currently registered students of other recognized North American universities • Students may apply to the Summer Abroad programs if they are admitted as a Visiting Student to the University of Toronto. • Applicants must arrange for their home university registrar’s office to send a Letter of Permission (LOP) directly to the Professional & International Programs Office. This should be done as soon as possible, but students should NOT wait for the LOP before submitting their online Summer Abroad application. • For more information on applying as a visiting student, please refer to the Summer Abroad website. e) All others • It is possible to be admitted to the University of Toronto as a Non-Degree Student provided the admission requirements for part-time study in the Faculty of Arts & Science are met. • Applicants must arrange for official transcripts of their most recent university studies to be mailed directly from the institution(s) they have attended to the address at the end of this section. • Students will also need to submit the Non-Degree application form, which is available on request from the Professional and International Programs office.

Students with Disabilities (Accessibility Services) Students with disabilities who require accommodations (e.g. extra time to complete assignments, adaptive technology, barrier free environment, sign language interpreters) should meet with their Accessibility Advisor before applying to the Summer Abroad program. Students will also need to obtain a letter from Accessibility Services confirming their accommodation needs. Please note that the range of accommodations may differ from country to country. We cannot 7

guarantee that sites will be able to offer all the accommodations that are available at UofT. Accordingly, accommodation needs may affect the ability to participate in programs at certain locations. Students are encouraged to contact the Professional & International Programs office to discuss which sites might best suit their needs, so that we may provide the best possible student experience. Please note that accommodations cannot be guaranteed for those who make late requests.

Health & Safety Travelling overseas involves inherent risks. While most students go abroad without incident, it is important to consider these risks. Even if heading to a location that is culturally similar to one’s home, all students can benefit from developing a health and safety risk management plan. See the Summer Abroad website for site-specific health and safety risks. To assist you in this regard, we provide both an online and inperson pre-departure orientation for Summer Abroad participants; further details will be included with each student’s program admission package. In addition, information regarding site-specific risks for each program can be found on the Summer Abroad website. We also strongly suggest that students who have any health concerns related to travelling overseas discuss these with the Professional & International Programs office prior to submitting their application form. UofT also has a Travel Medicine Clinic, located in the Koffler Student Services Centre. Participants in the Summer Abroad program will not be charged for visiting the clinic if they present their letter of admission to the program. Note that some program sites, such as Ecuador, require students to obtain specific vaccines. Vaccinations are usually offered by the UofT clinic at a discounted rate. Appointments must be booked in advance at 416-9788030. The University of Toronto’s Safety Abroad Office has created a health and safety manual for travelling overseas, available at www.cie.utoronto.ca/safety. This office offers specialized workshops, including one for women and another for LGBTQ students. These workshops are often held in the early spring; please check the Safety Abroad website for details. Additional country-specific safety information is provided by Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada at www.voyage.gc.ca. 8

NOTE: All students are required to have medical travel insurance coverage for the duration of the program. Students must make their own insurance arrangements; the Professional & International Programs office does not recommend or purchase specific insurance plans for students. Further information on issues concerning medical travel insurance will be included in the admission packages.

Conditions of Participation As a condition of enrolment all students will be required to provide written acknowledgement and consent of risks and terms of participation (which include agreeing to abide by the University of Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and the host institutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rules, regulations, and code of conduct, and acknowledging their personal liability). Students will also be required to complete a pre-departure orientation; obtain and provide proof of adequate health insurance; obtain all appropriate travel documents (visa, passport, etc.); and read all materials provided by the Professional & International Programs office (including email, admission package, and Student Handbook). The University of Toronto does not arrange medical travel insurance or flight cancellation insurance; this is the responsibility of each program participant. Students are also responsible for obtaining all required travel documents (visa, passport, etc.). Class attendance in all Summer Abroad programs is mandatory. In addition, some courses may require students to complete an assignment or attend lectures before the start of the program. Students who wish to enrol in an oncampus summer course are responsible for ensuring that this course does not overlap with their Summer Abroad course. The Faculty of Arts & Science will not make special arrangements for on-campus final exams that conflict with a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Summer Abroad course. Students are expected to accept responsibility for the preparations for their study abroad experience so as to foster self-reliance after arrival. In this regard, all communications regarding the program (e.g., course enrolment, accommodation arrangements, etc.) are made directly with each student. We cannot discuss details with non-participants, including parents or guardians (except in the case of students under 18), unless the student agrees to such disclosure and is present at those discussions. Students enrolled in an Arts & Science degree program may choose to participate in a Summer Abroad course on a credit/no-credit basis (CR/NCR). They must declare this intention no later than by the drop date for the course by contacting 9

the Professional and International Programs Office at Woodsworth College in writing. Under no circumstances will late requests be considered. Students from the Mississauga and Scarborough campuses should contact the Professional and International Office for details regarding making a CR/NCR request through their campus’ registrar’s office. Students who decide to withdraw from the program must notify the Professional & International Programs office in writing. If this happens after the program has begun, the student must leave the residence at that time and will be responsible for their own accommodation. As stated below, all fees (including tuition and accommodation) are non-refundable.

Course Fees and Incidental Fees All course and other fees for the Summer Abroad programs are subject to Governing Council approval. A detailed breakdown of these fees is available in each program section of this brochure. University of Toronto staff and their dependents are eligible for a course fee rebate according to the terms of the staff person’s union or association. The rebate will be calculated in relation to the standard tuition charged for a regular UofT on-campus course, not in relation to the Summer Abroad course fee. The incidental fees charged for participating in a Summer Abroad program will be charged to each student’s ROSI account (not the Professional & International Programs office). To review your fees invoice, log into your ROSI account and click on “Financial Accounts”. The fee amount will vary according to each student’s enrolment status. Note: According to UofT policy, incidental fees are a compulsory part of students’ tuition. This includes students who cannot use on-campus services, such as exchange/Summer Abroad students. Incidental fees are set on the understanding that all students will contribute to the cost of student services. In addition, many of these services can in fact be used while abroad (e.g., counselling services, UTOR accounts, online library access, etc.).

Withdrawals, Cancellations, and Refunds Except for the conditions noted below, all Summer Abroad fees submitted to the University of Toronto, including the application fee, are non-refundable upon receipt. The University of Toronto is not responsible for costs paid to other service providers, including (but not limited to) passport fees, vaccinations, accommodation, and transportation costs such as airfare and flight deposits. Applications to all Programs • Students who apply to a Summer Abroad program and are not admitted will receive a full refund of $200 of their application fee. • Students who are offered a Summer Abroad award and choose to withdraw from their program will not be refunded any portion of the application fee. Applying to Two Programs • Students who apply to two or more Summer Abroad programs must submit the application form and $200 application fee for each program. If both applications are successful, the student will have one week to withdraw from the other program(s) and receive a refund of the application fee. If the student chooses to withdraw beyond the one-week window, the $200 application fee will not be refunded. • Students who apply to the Japan program and are admitted will not receive a refund of the $200 application fee if they withdraw after admission notification has been issued. Airfare Deposits • Airfare deposits are non-refundable upon receipt unless the student is not admitted to the program to which they have applied.

Argentina

Buenos Aires and Patagonia Sunday, June 29 to Sunday, July 27, 2014 (4 weeks) This will be the first year of the University of Toronto’s Summer Program in Argentina. This program provides a unique opportunity for students interested in international politics, environmental studies, conservation and geography to develop an understanding of environmental policy, using Argentina as the case study, and then participate in hands-on investigation of two specific examples in Patagonia. Students will be based for two weeks in Buenos Aires, where they participate in classroom lectures and field visits with various NGOs, diplomatic officers, researchers and government representatives. This part of the program will take place at the University of Belgrano, a private university established in 1964 and located in the Belgrano district of Buenos Aires. Students will then travel to Patagonia where they will spend two weeks living and studying on a wildlife reserve. IMPORTANT: Space in this program is limited. Applications will open on January 7 and close on February 14, 2014. Buenos Aires is the capital and largest city of Argentina, and the second-largest metropolitan area in South America, after Greater São Paulo. It is located on the western shore of the estuary of the Río de la Plata, on the southeastern coast of the South American continent. The Greater Buenos Aires conurbation, which also includes several Buenos Aires Province districts, constitutes the third-largest conurbation in Latin America, with a population of around thirteen million. By some measures, Buenos Aires is one of the 20 largest cities in the world. It is, along with Mexico City and São Paulo, one of the three Latin American cities considered an 'alpha city' by the study GaWC5. It is the most visited city in South America (ahead of Rio de Janeiro) and the second most visited city across Latin America (behind Mexico City) and is also one of the most important, largest and most populous of South American capitals, often referred to as the Paris of South America. Buenos Aires is a top tourist destination, and is known for its European-style architecture and rich cultural life, with the highest concentration of theatres in the world. The wildlife reserve La Esperanza is located in northeast Chubut Province, approximately 75 km north of the city of Puerto Madryn. It consists of 6700 hectares, including 12 km of coast on the southern part of San Matías Gulf. The area is designated for conservation of biodiversity and is strategically located in the buffer zone of the Protected Natural Area 'Peninsula Valdes' Natural Heritage Site by UNESCO. Fundación Patagonia Natural has its headquarters in the city of Puerto Madryn, in the province of Chubut, Argentina, but the work they do encompasses the entire coastal region of Patagonian Argentina, almost 4500 km of coastline.

Argentina Course The University of Toronto will offer one course in Argentina. This course is worth one full-year credit and is contingent on adequate enrolment. The course will 13

enhance students’ understanding of how global change and local actions interact. The field experience at the Wildlife Refuge La Esperanza in Patagonia will allow students to practice making choices in environmental governance and gain firsthand experience in the kinds of trade-offs that policy makers often face when managing sustainable development on the ground. Please note that because there is no local university hosting this program, students will not have access to library, computer or sports facilities. POL380Y0 Topics in International Politics: Localizing Global Environmental Governance We often hear the call to “think globally, act locally.” But, what does it mean to localize global governance and what happens when the global agenda hits the ground? In this course, we take the case of the environment as a global governance issue that depends on local action. The tragedy of the commons predicts that local actors (states) have little incentive to conserve the global environmental commons. Yet, we observe that this is not always true. Developing states like Argentina sometimes cooperate to protect the global environment, even to their own detriment by embarking on costly, though cleaner, development paths. Other times these same developing states argue that they should not be expected to cooperate to keep the Earth green. Why and when do developing states cooperate? We will spend two weeks in the capital city of Buenos Aires to study national environmental policy, and then travel to Patagonia to examine two opposite cases. The case of biodiversity conservation in coastal areas hosting penguin, sea lion colonies, and whale nurseries is an example of Argentina’s decision to cooperate with a global biodiversity agenda. Yet the case of fracking, also in Patagonia, is an example of failing to cooperate with a rapidly deteriorating global climate. By investigating, in-situ, these divergent decisions in Argentina, students will gain a unique perspective on how the global agenda is received locally, where action matters most. Prerequisites: POL208Y or relevant academic preparation. This is a social science course: BR=3.

Itinerary & Activities: This program takes place in two areas of Argentina. The first two weeks are spent in the capital city of Buenos Aires where students will develop the theoretical foundations that emanate from human, cultural and political ecology. They will analyze the growth of the sustainable development paradigm in global governance and the challenges it has faced in its application on the ground, particularly in the context of developing countries. Students spend the last two weeks of the program in Patagonia, at the La Esperanza Wildlife Refuge, where they will practice developing environmental conservation plans in consultation with local communities living in proximity to this protected area, local governments and ecotourism operators. While in Patagonia, students will participate in wildlife observation and identification, 14

hear from local experts on issues related to the enviroment and conservation, and actively engage in activities on the refuge. Instructor: Dr. Teresa Kramarz is a lecturer and Research Associate in the Munk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto. She is the Director of the Munk One program and the Deputy Director of the Master of Global Affairs. She received her PhD from the University of Toronto and has two MA degrees â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one in International Relations from Boston University and one in Environmental Journalism from Columbia University. She joined the University of Toronto with extensive experience in international development, having worked for over ten years with the World Bank, the United Nations Development Programme, the Food and Agricultural Organization, and the Canadian International Development Agency managing a number of sustainable development programs.

Accommodation and Meals While in Buenos Aires, students will stay in an apartment-style hotel located five blocks from the university, in a quiet well-connected neighbourhood near Palermo Park. Each unit houses two students, and comes with a small living room, kitchenette, bathroom, and a shared double bedroom. The accommodation also includes a daily buffet breakfast. There is no meal plan for lunches and dinner. Students should budget approximately CAD$225 for a combination of selfprepared and purchased meals during the two-week stay in Buenos Aires. While at the nature reserve in Patagonia students will be housed in shared accommodations (2-4 per room). Running water is available and students share flush toilets and showers. A generator provides electricity. There will be no Internet access. Students will be provided with all meals while at the reserve. Unfortunately vegans cannot be accommodated in this course. There are food options for vegetarians who are not vegan. Accommodation availability: Sunday, June 29 to Sunday, July 27, 2014 Students are required to submit a refundable damage deposit of CAD$80. This will be returned provided there has been no damage to the accommodation or facilities used during the program. 15

Group Flight No group flight is available for this program; students must make their own travel arrangements. Please note that if you choose to arrive earlier or leave later than the available dates for the accommodation option you have selected, you will be responsible for arranging your own housing for the extra day(s).

Entry Requirements for Visitors to Argentina All students are responsible for making sure that their necessary travel documents are in order. Information on entry requirements is available from the Consulate of Argentina in Toronto, http://ctoro.mrecic.gob.ar/en As of the time of publication (December 2013), Canadian citizens only need a passport valid for six months beyond their return date to enter Argentina as a visitor. Citizens of other countries may have additional requirements.

Pre-Departure Orientation (PDO) All students admitted to the Summer Abroad program are required to successfully complete an online PDO, which will provide information and advice on international health and safety issues. Students are also strongly encouraged to attend the in-person PDO, at which you will receive a course syllabus, Student Handbook, and detailed program information (e.g., about accommodation, services, facilities, and travel instructions to and from the airport). Attendance at this PDO is mandatory for all participants in the Argentina summer program. Argentina PDO: April 30 from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. 16

2013 Australia Program Participant

Darwin, Sydney and Cairns Friday, June 20 to Friday, July 25, 2014 (5 weeks) This will be the second year of the University of Toronto’s Summer Program in Darwin, Sydney and Cairns. This program provides a unique opportunity to consider human impacts on the natural environment, and measures to address these impacts, focusing particularly on protected conservation areas. Australia provides a valuable and unique case study in this regard. The program is hosted by the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia’s leading international university. The course starts in Darwin, at the “Top End” of Australia, students will then journey to the Blue Mountains, followed by two weeks in Sydney, a visit to the Daintree Rainforest and a stay in Cairns, where the program concludes. IMPORTANT: Spaces in the course and residence are limited. Applications open on January 7 and close on February 14, 2014.

Ancient and Modern Traditions in a Global Metropolis From its rainforests, coastlines and coral reefs to its arid interior, Australia offers a diverse range of natural and cultural landscapes and ecosystems to explore. Evolving from origins in ancient Gondwana and millions of years of geographic isolation, Australia boasts geographical and natural features found nowhere else in the world. Darwin and Kakadu: Students arrive in Darwin, where the program begins with a three-day camping expedition to the World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park to experience its spectacular scenery and its distinctive plants and animals. The Blue Mountains and Sydney: From Darwin, students journey to the Blue Mountains National Park where they spend a few days learning about Australia’s most visited World Heritage-listed National Park. From there the group will travel to Sydney to UNSW’s main campus, located a short bus ride from downtown Sydney, near the picturesque beachside suburb of Coogee. Sydney is a vital, international city of exceptional natural beauty, and is also Australia’s oldest and largest settlement.

2013 Central Europe Program Participant

Czech Republic Session 1: Tuesday, May 13 to Wednesday, June 18, 2014 (5 weeks) Session 2: Monday, May 19 to Friday, June 20 (4.5 weeks) This is the eleventh year of the University of Toronto’s Summer Program in Central Europe. The program is designed to introduce students to this unique region through academic instruction, immersion in the local culture, and several three-day field trips to other cities and countries in the area. The program is hosted by Masaryk University in Brno, an institution established in 1919, only three months after the Czechoslovak Republic itself, and named for the country’s founder and first President. IMPORTANT: Spaces in the courses and group flights are limited. Applications for all programs will open on January 7 and will close on February 14, 2014.

A Window on a Rich Past and an Exciting Future Central Europe was the heart of Europe’s artistic, intellectual and cultural development prior to World War II, and the region’s capital cities are known for their breathtaking Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture and passion for the arts. All locations in the Central Europe Summer Program offer students a first-hand experience of places of exceptional beauty and historical importance where past and present unite. Brno, the home-base for the program in the Czech Republic, is an attractive city situated in the very heart of Europe. Its many cultural, sports and entertainment facilities match the tastes and lifestyles of the more than 85,000 students at the local universities, whose presence makes it such a young and lively city (particularly in June!). Extremely affordable in itself, Brno also offers easy access to the whole of Central Europe, making it the ideal starting point for regional exploration.

Central Europe Courses The University of Toronto will offer two courses in Central Europe during different sessions: Session 1: HIS389Y0 Topics in History: The City in Central Europe: Imperial Pasts, Aspirations, Wars and Revolutions Session 2: RSM395Y Special Topics: Strategy in the European Context Each course is worth one full-year credit and is contingent on adequate enrolment. Students are not permitted to register for more than one course. On average, students are in class three to four days per week for two 90-minute sessions each morning; exact class times will be provided at the Pre-Departure Orientation. Mandatory field trips are an integral part of each course and will occur outside of regular class days (e.g., on weekends). 25

Session 1: (May 13 to June 18) HIS389Y0 Topics in History: The City in Central Europe: Imperial Pasts, Imperial Aspirations, Wars and Revolutions The goal of this course is to familiarize students with the complex historical role of Central European cities, their interaction with imperial and then national cultures, the legacies of the First and Second World Wars, and their importance in creating modern nation states. The Czech Republic’s dynamic second largest ˇ will provide the starting city, Brno, and the pearl of Moravia, the town of Telc, point for travel to the course’s focus cities. Students will visit the three great cities of the former Habsburg Empire, Vienna, Prague, and Budapest, each with its own unique churches, museums, and castles. Students will also visit Wroclaw, which spent the first half of the twentieth century as a major German city and the second half as a major Polish one. There are five modules – an introductory session followed by cityspecific and period specific studies of Vienna, Wroclaw, Prague, and Budapest. Prerequisites: none This is a Humanities course (BR=none) and can be counted toward both the History and the European Studies programs at the University of Toronto. Field trips: Three-day excursions to Vienna, Wroclaw (including a visit to Auschwitz), Prague, and Budapest will take place at the ends of weeks two, three, four, and five. Return transportation and two nights’ overnight accommodation will be arranged for all course participants. Students may opt to spend additional time in these cities at their own expense. Logistical help will also be provided for those wishing to visit nearby Bratislava, Krakow, or some other European city on their free days. The course will begin with an intensive 3-day workshop taking ˇ a small picturesque town in south-west Moravia. place in Telc, Instructors: Robert C. Austin teaches the politics and history of Central Europe and the Balkans at the Centre for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies at the Munk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto where he also coordinates the undergraduate program in European Studies and the Hungarian Studies Program. In the past, Austin was a Tirana-based journalist for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, a correspondent for the Economist Group of Publications in Slovakia and a writer for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in Toronto. 26

Austin has written articles for The Globe and Mail, The Toronto Star, Orbis, East European Politics and Societies and East European Quarterly along with numerous book chapters and a book on Albania’s early experiment with democracy. Though a Canadian, Don Sparling has lived in Czechoslovakia / the Czech Republic since 1969, when he arrived in the country to teach English, following studies at U of T and Oxford University. In 1977 he joined the Department of English and American Studies at Masaryk University, where he became Chair following the collapse of the Communist regime in 1989. In 2000 he was named Director of Masaryk University’s Office for International Studies, retiring from that position in 2009. Sparling’s courses have focused on both American and Canadian literature and cultural studies, and he has published a wide variety of articles on cultural and intercultural issues. Session 2: (May 19 to June 20) RSM395Y0 Special Topics: Strategy in the European Context This course will introduce and apply strategic management concepts and frameworks to investigate how organizations leverage their position to succeed in Europe and beyond. Looking at both European success stories and global players competing in Europe, students will be introduced to the structure and regulatory frameworks governing European Union (EU) organizations, the perspective of the European manager and public policy-setter, and the cultures of the diverse EU consumer. The course is founded on managerial studies, but will draw upon a holistic set of disciplines and traditions to go "beyond strategy" and introduce students to those region-specific competencies and limitations that affect competition. Students can expect immersion into local Czech life, from the insights of Brno businesspeople and academics, to the stunning surroundings of the province of Moravia (eastern Czech Republic) and the beautiful city of Brno. Field trips across Central European destinations will solidify learnings about EU strategy, highlight local, regional, and bi-lateral champions, and showcase cultural/natural wonders that make this part of the world unique. Prerequisites: RSM100Y or relevant academic preparation. This is Social Science course (BR=none). Field trips: Students participating in this course will have the chance to visit a number of nearby regions to learn about local industry and Central European economic development. Three-day excursions to Eastern Moravia and Northern Bohemia at the ends of weeks one and four will provide opportunities to tour Czech businesses such iconic wineries and auto plants. There will also be a three-day trip to Vienna and Bratislava at the end of week two which will help situate the Czech Republic in the context of Central

Instructor: Jan’s background spans twenty years in management consulting and industry, most recently as Director, Corporate Planning & Development. Now as Assistant Professor at Huron University College and long-standing sessional Lecturer at Rotman, UTM and UTSC, Jan’s research interests are directed toward the intersection of strategic planning, lucid foresight, and governance. Having led end-to-end initiatives at Fortune 500 and public-sector clients on both sides of the Atlantic, Jan energetically shares this holistic experience with strategy and "intro to business" students. Jan will complete the Director’s College program in 2013, and as a wine aficionado, was recently admitted to studies for the Master of Wine designation.

Program Activities For students in HIS389Y, the program will start with a 3-day intensive workshop taking place in a former Jesuit College in the town of Telcˇ – where there will be an orientation and introductory lectures.

2013 Hong Kong Program Participant

Hong Kong Tuesday, June 10 to Thursday, July 10, 2014 (4 weeks) The summer of 1997 was not only a pivotal year in Hong Kong’s history (when it was handed back to China by Britain), it was also the first offering of the University of Toronto’s Summer Program in Hong Kong. In 17 summers over 3600 students from all across Canada have participated in this incredibly popular and successful program. This Hong Kong summer program is not only of interest to students majoring in East Asian Studies, Asia-Pacific Studies, History, Cinema, or Business, but to anyone who wants to complete an elective course in an academically and culturally stimulating environment. Also, non-Commerce students are eligible to enrol in RSM295Y and RSM395Y taught in the Hong Kong Summer Program. The program is hosted by the University of Hong Kong (HKU), Hong Kong’s oldest and largest institution for higher learning, established in 1911. IMPORTANT: Spaces in the courses and residence are limited. Applications for all programs will open on January 7 and will close on February 14, 2014.

Asia’s World City Beneath the glittering lights of Hong Kong you will find a city embracing both its traditional Chinese culture and its modern Western influences. Chinese medicine shops, sampans, junks and temples survive alongside skyscrapers, marbled shopping malls, and Rolls Royces. Hong Kong offers a world-famous skyline as well as peaceful countryside, open-air markets, floating restaurants, and amazing mountain scenery. Hong Kong actually comprises more than two hundred islands and a part of mainland China. Much of the area is uninhabited rural countryside, while other areas are among the world’s most densely populated. Hong Kong Island is at the centre of it all with its busy government, financial and business districts. A sevenminute ferry ride across one of the most beautiful harbours in the world takes you to the Kowloon Peninsula on the mainland, an intense 24-hour shopping and tourist destination. Beyond Kowloon is the charming, traditional New Territories, which include the rest of the mainland and Hong Kong’s other 234 islands.

Hong Kong Courses Each course is worth one full-year credit and is contingent on adequate enrolment. Students are not permitted to register for more than one course. Classes take place Monday to Thursday, 9:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m, except for CIN376Y which takes place from 9:15 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Mandatory field trips are an integral part of each course, and may occur outside of class time or on weekends. For some courses there may also be one or two lectures held in Toronto before the start of the program; in this 33

event, participants will be provided with further details in their Admission documents. CIN376Y0 Chinese Cinemas In this course we study Chinese films from Hong Kong, The People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Taiwan. The course focuses on films produced since 1980. Chinese films share roots in the Shanghai cinema of the 1930s but, after the Second World War, Chinese cinema fragmented. The three national production centres only began to interact around 1990. Global admiration for Chinese films rose sharply in the 1980s as “new waves” appeared in Hong Kong, the PRC and Taiwan almost simultaneously. This course concentrates on that era of achievement. Films include works by Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, John Woo, Ann Hui, Feng Xiaogang, Stanley Kwan, Hou Hsaoi-hsien, Edward Yang and Wong Kar-wai. Prerequisites: CIN105Y1 or relevant academic preparation. Exclusion: INI390Y1 Recommended Preparation: CIN201Y1 This is a Humanities course; BR=1+3. Field trips: Course excursions will include several trips to the Hong Kong Film Archive and a tour of Shaw Studios.

Testa has written numerous journal articles and anthologized essays. He is currently the Cinema Studies Institute’s undergraduate coordinator. EAS395Y0 Selected Topics in East Asian Studies: Leadership and Governance in China This course will begin with an examination of academic theories of leadership and governance, particularly as they apply to the Chinese tradition, and its encounter with the Maoist attempt to reshape Chinese society and politics since 1949. It will finish by looking at Chinese leadership in the new era of Xi Jinping. 34

Beginning with China's imperial legacy, the failures of governance in the Republican Period (1911-49), the revolutionary successes and failures of Mao Zedong, and finally, the directions of post-Mao China, this course should provide the student with the tools to evaluate China's role in the world today. Specific topics of interest might include such things as village elections and democratic reform; the nature of, and recent changes within the Communist party; the persistence of Confucianism in China, and the growing importance of the internet and such social networks as Sina Weibo. Prerequisites: none This is a Humanities course; BR=none. Field trips: A special feature of the course in 2014 is a field-trip to Quanzhou and Xiamen, China. The trip will include visits to the Mintaiyuan Museum, Kai Yuan Temple, Nanjing Earth Building in Quanzhou and the Tan Kah Kee Memorial Museum, Gulong Exhibition, Xiamen University and Gulang Island in Xiamen.

He has lectured widely on Hong Kong and modern Chinese history in North America, Europe, and Asia. RLG290Y0 Special Topics: Religion in Hong Kong It is virtually impossible to walk more than ten metres in Hong Kong without running into something connected to religion, whether it's a temple, restaurant shrine, night market, or Dragon Boat Festival. This interdisciplinary course will consider general concepts of religion (e.g., ritual, sacred text, art, community) in relation to the specific yet very diverse religious life of the city, focusing on the traditions of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Taoism. Students will explore these traditions through visits to many sites throughout Hong Kong, including the New Territories, Kowloon, and three of the main islands. Prerequisites: none This is a Humanities course; BR=none. Field trips: In addition to visiting churches, mosques, synagogues, and temples in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, students will participate in a two-day excursion to Macau and day trips to Cheung Chau Island, the New Territories, and Lantau Island. The cost of these trips is as follows: • CAD$295, paid to UofT for the Macau trip (return ferry tickets, on-site bus transportation, one nights’ accommodation, and entry fees), the Cheng Chau excursion (guide), and the New Territories visit (bus transportation and guide). • Approximately CAD$45, paid on-site for some entrance fees, local transport in Hong Kong, and driver and guide tips.

Shanghai and Beijing Saturday, May 3 to Sunday, May 25, 2014 (3 weeks) This is the sixth year of the University of Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer program in Shanghai, China. The program is designed to provide students from both the University of Toronto and Fudan University with a unique, intensive look at critical international issues from Western and Chinese perspectives. Students will spend two weeks in Shanghai attending intensive classes and then one week in Beijing. The program is hosted and co-taught by Fudan University. Founded in 1905, Fudan is one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in China and has over 45,000 students. In the 1950s it also became one of the first institutions in China to enrol students from around the world, and has since trained over 10,000 students from 100 different countries. IMPORTANT: Space in this program is limited to 25 students. Applications for all programs will open on January 7 and will close on February 14, 2014. Applicants must have completed at least 4.0 FCEs with a minimum CGPA of 2.5, and will be required to answer an additional one-page questionnaire.

See the World Through New Eyes With over 20 million people, Shanghai is the largest city in China in terms of population and one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world. It is located on Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s central eastern coast near the mouth of the Yangtze River. Shanghai is an intensely dynamic city bursting with rapid cultural and economic change. Since market restrictions were lifted, Shanghai has recreated itself as a fresh, sophisticated and innovative metropolis. It is in many ways the hotspot of modern China, as well as a key player in the global political economy. Beijing is Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second largest city, after Shanghai. It is a major transportation hub, with dozens of railways, roads and motorways passing through the city. Few cities in the world besides Beijing have served as the political and cultural centre of an area as immense as China for so long. Beijing is renowned for its opulent palaces, temples, and huge stone walls and gates. Its art treasures and universities have long made the city a centre of culture in China.

Shanghai and Beijing Course The University of Toronto will offer one course in Shanghai and Beijing, China. The course is worth one full-year credit and is contingent on adequate enrolment. The class will be made up of students from both the University of Toronto and Fudan University.

Ecuador

“

I love how we fully explored Ecuador and were exposed to all kinds of terrain: Galápagos, Andes and rainforest. An eye-opening, learning experience!

”

2013 Ecuador Program Participant

Amazon, Galápagos and Andes Wednesday, May 14 to Saturday, June 14, 2014 (4 weeks) This is the ninth year of the University of Toronto’s Summer Program in Ecuador. This exciting program is a wonderful opportunity for students interested in life sciences, environmental studies, conservation biology, geology, and geography to experience one of the most ecologically diverse countries in the world and to explore the pressures and challenges on these unique environments. The program is hosted by the Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ) and will use two of its research centres, the Galápagos Academic Institute for the Arts and Sciences, and the Tiputini Biodiversity Station (located in the Amazon Rainforest), as well as its Quito campus. USFQ has been collaborating with partner universities from around the world for many years, sharing their faculty’s expertise and research knowledge to run successful programs for local and foreign students. IMPORTANT: Space in this program is limited. All applications will open on January 7 and close February 14, 2014.

Primeval Lands and Unique Wild Species Ecuador is a small country, yet it contains incredible natural diversity: tropical rainforests, snowcapped volcanoes, vast coastal beaches, the majestic Andes mountains, and the incredible Galápagos Islands. Ecuador has 9.2 species per square km, more than any other country in the world. Students in this program will stay in three very different regions of the country, and will experience and study complex ecosystems teeming with astonishing biological and cultural diversity. Andes Highlands: The Andes is the world’s longest mountain range, forming a continuous chain of highland along the western coast of South America. In this region students will view first-hand paramo ecology and the impact of global warming on the glaciers, as well as the physiological, cultural and economic adaptations of indigenous mountain peoples. Amazon Rainforest: Students will live, study and conduct biological fieldwork in pristine tropical rainforest on the north bank of the Tiputini River. The program site borders the Yasuni Biosphere Reserve, a region famous for having one of the highest species diversity on Earth. Researchers here have documented the presence of 12 species of primates, 520 species of birds, 1500 species of trees, and thousands of insect species. Galápagos Islands: Made famous by Charles Darwin over 150 years ago, the Galápagos is a string of islands about 1000 km west of mainland Ecuador. Formed by volcanic activity, the islands contain some of the most remarkable ecosystems on earth. Birds, sea mammals, reptiles, as well as a wide variety of tropical fishes and invertebrates abound in the Galápagos. 49

Ecuador Course The University of Toronto will offer one course in Ecuador, worth one full-year credit. The course has limited space and is contingent on adequate enrolment. Students will be in classes or on field trips every day, including weekends, except for travel days and some free time during the program. Field trips are an integral part of the course and are mandatory. Where possible, students will be involved in group research projects. ENV395Y0 Special Topics Field Course: Ecology and Conservation in the Amazon, Galรกpagos, and Andes This course examines fundamental concepts in ecology, evolution, biodiversity, geology, and conservation biology through lectures and fieldwork in highland, tropical and island ecosystems in Ecuador. The complex relations between these environments and the people who depend on them will also be examined through analysis of the social, cultural and economic transformations that have taken place in recent years. Prerequisites: none Recommended preparation: ENV200Y/200H1or equivalent, BIO150Y/120H1 or equivalent. This may be counted as a Science or Social Science course. This course counts as one half credit (0.5 FCE) in BR = 3 and one half credit (0.5 FCE) in BR= 4. It is suitable for all programs offered by the School of the Environment. Itinerary & Activities: Students will spend their first few days in Quito for orientation and introductory lectures, including visits to old Quito and Mitad del Mundo (the Equator). They will then spend four days in the Andes highlands to study its unique flora and fauna, and to examine the economy and culture of the indigenous mountain peoples. They will work on the flanks of Chimborazo, the highest peak in Ecuador, as well as visiting a cloud forest. The following course segment comprises eight days at the Tiputini Biodiversity Station, situated along one of the headwaters of the Amazon River. The station lies in a biodiversity hotspot, in one of the few remaining pristine rainforests in Ecuador. Here students will focus on tropical forest ecology and the impacts of oil exploration on wildlife and indigenous peoples. For most of the second half of the course students will be in the Galรกpagos, a chain of active volcanic islands that has played a crucial role in the history of science. Here they will examine how plants, animals and people interact in this fragile and threatened environment. This segment will include five days of lectures and field trips based at the GAIAS institute on San Cristobal, followed by a five-day islandhopping tour of other islands. The program concludes in Quito. 50

2013 Oxford Program Participant

Oxford Sunday, August 3 to Sunday, August 31, 2014 (4 weeks) This is the fourteenth year that the University of Toronto has offered a summer program in England. Since 2001, over 950 students have enjoyed the experience of studying British culture and history while immersed in the United Kingdom. The summer program in England is hosted by Worcester College at Oxford University. Although situated on 26 acres of land—including gardens, lakeside areas, and a large sports ground—Worcester is close to train and bus stations and only a few minutes’ walk from the city centre. Oxford alumni include T.S. Eliot, Indira Gandhi, Aldous Huxley, J.R.R. Tolkien, and T.E. Lawrence (“Lawrence of Arabia”). IMPORTANT: Spaces in the courses, residence and group flight are limited. Applications for all programs will open on January 7 and will close on February 14, 2014.

“Dreaming Spires” in the Heart of England For more than a thousand years Oxford has played a central role in English history. Aside from its famous university and incredible “dreaming spires,” the city is also home to England’s most famous library (the Bodleian), its smallest chapel (at Christ Church), and its oldest museum (the Ashmolean, which is older than the word “museum” itself). It is the birthplace of Mensa, Oxfam, the Mini, Alice in Wonderland, and The Lord of the Rings. Oxford’s remarkable past can be traced through examples of its stunning architecture from the Medieval, Renaissance, Tudor, and Victorian periods. The city’s major attractions are all located downtown, which is surrounded by spectacular gardens, public parks and lush meadows. Only a short distance from the urban core are the banks of the two historic rivers upon which the city is built, the Thames and the Cherwell. Within a short distance of Oxford are a number of historic castles, including the magnificent Blenheim Palace, where Winston Churchill was born. London is only an hour away by train. The trans-channel ferry and the chunnel also allow convenient access to continental Europe.

Oxford Courses Each course is worth one full-year credit and is contingent on adequate enrolment. Students are not permitted to register for more than one course. Classes will take place Monday to Thursday, 8:45 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Mandatory field trips are an integral part of each course, and may occur outside of class time on afternoons or Fridays. For some courses there may also be one or two lectures held in Toronto before the start of the program; in this event, participants will be provided with further details in their admission documents. 55

CRI389Y0 Topics in Criminology: Rights, Freedoms and Responsibilities in Criminal Law: England and Canada This course traces shifts in the rights, freedoms and responsibilities of legal subjects in England and Canada, from the Medieval period up to the present day. Close attention will be paid to recent developments that challenge traditional doctrines. The English legal system has recently adopted a number of innovations and proposals that have not been tried in Canada, including new ideas in community policing, and new laws regarding speech supporting terrorism and jury trials. In all these cases, there is significant modification of established legal doctrines regarding the relationship between the state and its subjects. Canada has been at the forefront of other developments which modify that relationship, most notably in approaches to preventive detention and the punishment of women offenders. The course will be of special interest to students of Criminology, Political Science and History, and offers a rare chance to students who are not in the Criminology program to study such material. Prerequisites: none This is a Social Science course; BR=3. Field Trips: Excursions will include two trips to London. For one, students will visit the Foundling Museum, the British Museum, and the Tower of London, and will be taken on a guided â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jack the Ripperâ&#x20AC;? walk. For the other London trip, students will visit sites of political violence in the city. Students will also meet with Oxford community policing services. The cost of these trips is CAD$185, paid to UofT for all fees and return bus transportation. Instructor: William Watson received his B.Sc. from the University of Leicester, and his Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge. His academic interests include the practice of forensic psychiatry, psychopathy, the provision of services to subpopulations of mentally disordered offenders who are identified, or selfidentified, as having special needs, and the place of critical social science in public policy making. His publications include The Mentally Disordered Offender in an Era of Community Care: New Directions in Provision (co-edited with A. Grounds), and articles in Sociology, The International Journal of Comparative Sociology, History of Psychiatry, The Journal of Forensic Psychiatry, and Social and Legal Studies. Dr. Watson has served as a consultant for the Ontario Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of the Solicitor General, Canada. HIS389Y0: Topics in History: Europe and the World, 1791-1975 This class will introduce students to the history of European colonialism and to the ways in which Europeans interacted with the broader world over the course of nearly two centuries. It analyzes the nature of colonial rule, the impact of empire on both colonies and metropoles, and questions of power and culture. The course considers sites of colonial encounter and contact. It tackles issues of slavery 56

and its abolition, museography and colonial representations, imperial networks, colonial capital, race and racism, labour, violence, and extraction of resources, questions of health, colonial competition, the decolonization process, all in a variety of colonial settings including the Caribbean, Asia and Africa. Several colonial states will be considered, including Britain, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Chronologically, the course will focus on a series of watersheds, including the age of revolution and abolition, the era of colonial competition, and the role of colonial territories during the two world wars. From Oxford, students will engage with a variety of objects and sites evocative of the colonial past. Prerequisites: One humanities course or social science credit or relevant academic preparation. Preference will be given to students who have previously taken history courses. This is a Humanities course; BR=none. Field Trips: Students will visit sites such as the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford and British Museum in London. The course will also feature a field trip to Amsterdam, where students will be given the opportunity to visits sites such as the Tropenmuseum and the National Maritime Museum. The cost of these trips is: • CAD$845, paid to UofT for all return bus and train transportation, three nights’ hotel accommodation in Amsterdam, on-site guides, and entrance fees. • Approximately CAD$25, paid onsite for public transit in Amsterdam. Instructor: Professor Eric Jennings' areas of interest include 19th and 20th century France, colonialism, decolonization, and the francophone world. He has taught at the University of Toronto since 1998. His study of French Equatorial Africa and Cameroon under Free French rule, entitled La France libre fut africaine, is forthcoming in 2014. It considers the centrality of subSaharan Africa for the early Fighting French movement, paying special attention to issues of legitimacy and coercion. His Dalat, the Making and Undoing of French Indochina (U. California Press, 2011) is a multi-angled study of a French colonial hill station in Southeast Asia. Its focus lies on place, power, and colonial fault lines. Curing the Colonizers (Duke UP, 2006) was situated at the crossroads of the histories of colonialism, medicine, culture, leisure, and tourism. HPS300Y0: Topics in History and Philosophy of Science and Technology: Britain and the Rise of Modern Science This course will look at the spectacular rise of modern science in the western tradition through an examination of a few of its revolutionary achievements. The emphasis will be on science in Great Britain, both its central players (Newton, Hutton, Cavendish, Faraday, Lyell, Darwin, Maxwell, and J.J. Thomson, to name a few) and the creation of the institutional framework (The Royal Society, The Royal Institution, The Cavendish Laboratory) that created a fertile environment for the flourishing of science in Great Britain. This is not a science course but rather an examination of the richness and diversity of scientific practice from a humanistic perspective. Prerequisites: None. This is a Humanities course; BR=none. 57

Field Trips: Students will visit sites such as the Museum for the History of Science in Oxford, the Whipple Museum for the History of Science in Cambridge and the Benjamin Franklin House and The Royal Institution in London. The cost of these trips is CAD$195, paid to UofT for all return bus transportation and on-site guides, and entrance fees. Instructor: Brian Baigrie specializes in history and philosophy of the physical sciences in the early modern period (17th to 20th century), and he has published numerous books and articles related to the rise of modern science. Brian has taught Scientific Revolutions (HPS210/HPS211) for more than twenty years, and he teaches VIC171 as part of VIC ONE'S Stowe Gullen Stream. POL380Y0: Topics in International Politics: Human Rights and International Relations This course is designed to provide a theoretical and analytical overview of major issues in the study and practice of human rights with a mix of international, systems perspectives and domestically-focused research. The course is geared for those who want a broad knowledge of human rights throughout the world, but students will have the opportunity to pursue a case of their choice in the second part of the term. The knowledge of international and domestic constraints that students are exposed to in the first half of the course will help them grapple with the applications of human rights in the second half. The goal here is to introduce students to ways of thinking about human rights as a product and limitation of state action, and how human rights have become dominant in international politics since the end of World War II. The process of creating and implementing human rights is political. Students will also be exposed to how international ideals are applied on the ground by countries, non-state actors, and individuals. The course is also designed to force students to question their priors, and justify their arguments for or against action in the name of human rights. As such, students should feel welcome to express their views, and engage in lively discussions as appropriate. Prerequisites: POL208Y1 or relevant academic preparation. This is a Social Science course; BR=3. Field Trips: Students will visit sites such the Parliament in London and Oxfam International in Oxford. The course will also feature a three-day field trip to Belfast. The cost of these trips is CAD$800, paid to UofT for all onsite bus transportation, return flight to Belfast, two nightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hotel accommodation, on-site guides, and entrance/tour fees. Instructor: Wendy Wong is currently Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Toronto, Director of the Trudeau Center for Peace and Conflict Studies at the Munk School of Global Affairs, and Associate Director of the new Munk School Global Justice Lab. She completed her undergraduate degree in Political Science from the University of California, Berkeley, and then moved to the University of California, San Diego to pursue an MA and PhD in Political Science, finishing in 2008. Wendyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main research interests lie at the crossroads of International Relations and Comparative Politics. She studies non-state organizations (international and domestic) and their role in international and domestic politics. She also is the author of Internal Affairs: How the Structure of NGOs Transforms International Human Rights published by Cornell University Press.

Program Activities To help familiarize students with Oxford, there will be a walking tour of the city. This tour will include such famous landmarks as the Ashmolean Museum, Bodleian Library, and the Covered Market. There will also be a high table dinner at Worcester. Finally, students may participate in additional activities paid for on-site, 58

including the ancient tradition of punting down the Cherwell River, or taking an insiderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tour of Christ Church.

2013 Tours Program Participant

Tours Thursday, June 26 to Saturday, July 26, 2014 (4 weeks) This is the thirteenth year of the University of Toronto Summer Program in Tours, France. More than 1200 students have participated since 2002. The program is designed for students who wish to develop their French language skills and those interested in learning about French culture and civilization. This program is hosted by the Institut de Touraine, which is affiliated with the Université Francois Rabelais de Tours. The Institut has been teaching French language and culture studies since 1912; currently, students from over 80 countries attend every summer. The Institut also offers weekly sporting activities, cultural activities and tours. IMPORTANT: Spaces in the courses, residence and group flight are limited. Applications for all programs will open on January 7 and will close February 14, 2014.

Cultural Riches in the Garden of France Tours is the largest city in Touraine, called the Garden of France. The city sits along the scenic Loire River, and has twice served as the national capital. The broad 18th-century avenues and historic quarters of Tours are home to market gardens, restaurants and cafés. The city also contains four museums and galleries, including the excellent Musée de l’Historial de la Touraine. An impressive collection of paintings and sculptures can be seen at the Musée des Beaux-Arts, including works by Degas and Rembrandt. Touraine is famous for its many outstanding chateaux, including those at Amboise, Chenonceau and Azay-le-Rideau. Once an important centre of trade under the Romans, the region has also been home to celebrated French writers and artists such as Honoré de Balzac and Jean Fouquet. In 2000, the Loire Valley was designated as a UNESCO world heritage site. Tours is only 55 minutes from Paris by T.G.V. (high speed train), and four hours from London. Despite its proximity to such important international cities, Tours has retained much of its traditional way of life, and continues to hold a vital place in French history and culture.

Tours French Language Courses Each course is worth one full-year credit and is contingent on adequate enrolment. Students are not permitted to register for more than one course. Students enroll in Institut de Touraine French language courses, but earn University of Toronto credit (i.e., the UofT course number and grade will be listed on their UofT transcript). Classes take place Monday to Friday (class times and schedules are not available until after students arrive in Tours, however, typically no classes are held on Friday afternoons). 63

French Language Levels Students participate in the regular language courses offered by the Institut de Touraine. Classes are small and include students from around the world, in addition to participants in the UofT summer program. Students have access to several language labs, a small library, and a multimedia studio. The Institut de Touraine language program comprises nine levels of instruction. The following are the UofT equivalencies; it is your responsibility to ensure you are eligible to take your requested course: Level

NOTE: All students will receive the St. George course code on their transcripts. The UTSC and UTM codes above are provided as a guide only; students at these campuses will need to verify the course equivalency with their French Department’s undergraduate counselors and Study Elsewhere advisors. These are Humanities courses; BR=1. French language courses require students with previous French exposure to complete a placement assessment. This is not the UofT placement exam and as such is mandatory for all students with previous French exposure. Students with any previous French exposure must write the placement test at one of the following locations: • Friday, February 14, 2014 3-5pm - St. George Campus: Sidney Smith Room 2102 - UTM Campus: Room TBC - UTSC Campus: Room TBC Absolute Beginners: Students with no significant French exposure at any level (formal instruction or non-academic exposure) DO NOT have to write the placement assessment. If you request the beginner level (FSL100H+FSL102H) but have had previous French exposure you must sit for the placement assessment. Results will be available approximately 5 weeks after the assessment date. Based on the results, students will be assigned to the most appropriate level. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are eligible to take the FSL course you have been assigned. It is not possible to take a course for which you already have credit. If you are not eligible to take the course(s) of your choice, $175 of your $200 application fee will be refunded. 64

Please note that the Institut de Touraine employs a different grading scale than the University of Toronto. In order to be consistent with the University of Toronto’s scale, grades for French language courses will be adjusted. The grade conversion scale is only applied to French language courses. The grade conversion scale is available from the Professional & International Programs Office; submission of an application form is consent for implementation of the scale. Important: UofT students are not guaranteed entrance into upper-year French language courses on return to Toronto, but will need to pass a placement test. Students interested in continuing language studies at UofT should find out as early as possible what the requirements will be for them to advance to the appropriate level on their return from France.

Activities & Program Trips After arrival in Tours, students will enjoy an orientation and dinner reception organized by the Institut de Touraine. A one-day trip at the start of the program visiting Amboise has also been arranged for all participants. The Institut de Touraine usually offers tours to the main historic buildings in Tours, cultural activities (e.g., movies, theatre workshops and French song workshops) and evenings and outings with French families. The Institut also offers optional paying tours and excursions at reasonable prices. In the past these have included several Châteaux of the Loire Valley, and sites such as Mont-St. Michel and St. Malo, Chartres cathedral, and the gardens of Chambord. Students who wish to participate should budget approximately CAD$200 (paid on-site) for one full day tour plus two half day tours.

Accommodation and Meals Students in Tours can select their preference for accommodation at Le Hameau St. Michel, Résidence Tonnellé, Hélène Boucher Résidence or homestay with local families. A limited number of rooms are available at Le Hameau, Tonnellé and Hélène Boucher Résidence so students should apply early to avoid disappointment. Every effort will be made to satisfy your accommodation needs to the best of available resources. Students will be required to submit a refundable damage deposit of CAD$80 that will be returned on completion of the program provided there is no damage to the accommodation or university facilities. In addition to the $80 damage deposit paid to UofT, students staying in Le Hameau, Tonnellé and Hélène Boucher Résidence will also be required to pay a key and damage deposit of approximately CAD$85 on-site. This deposit will be returned on completion of the program provided the keys are returned and rooms are left clean and undamaged. 65

Immerse Yourself in a Dynamic World City Berlin is an incredible, unique, city. The history of the 20th century is apparent in its vibrant streets and architecture, in the Brandenburg Gate, the relics of the Berlin Wall, and the reconstructed Potsdamer Platz. Berlin has emerged from the difficulties of a divided past with a youth, energy and style that appears everywhere, from the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing cultural diversity, to its rich food, music, and arts scenes, to the feverish pulse of the Love Parade. Summers in Berlin are filled with numerous festivals, shows, fairs, and exhibits. For a more subdued evening you can enjoy shows at one of the three opera houses, eight symphony orchestras, or at numerous cinemas (including open-air sites). Surprisingly, almost one-quarter of Berlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urban surface consists of lake and forest, as well as extensive parklands, bike trails and the Spree and Havel waterways. Berlin is a central hub of Europe, lying on the north-south axis between Copenhagen and Vienna. Cities such as Dresden, Paris, Madrid, Rome, Brussels, Prague and Warsaw are all within easy reach of Berlin. The Berlin program offers a unique chance to experience one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most dynamic cities during a time of incredible growth and discovery.

2013 Siena Program Participant

Siena Friday, July 25 to Saturday, August 30, 2014 (5 weeks) The Summer Program in Siena, established in 1972, was our first summer abroad program and was the model for the other summer programs. Since its inception, over 4650 students from across Canada have completed a University of Toronto summer course in Siena. The praise for the program has been consistently and overwhelmingly enthusiastic. Your host is the University of Siena, Italyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second oldest university dating back to 1240. It is a state university with over 18,000 students. The University of Siena is also home to the Siena-Toronto Centre, which coordinates a variety of initiatives on Canadian culture. IMPORTANT: Spaces in the courses, residence and group flight are limited. Applications for all programs will open on January 7 and will close on February 14, 2014.

A Medieval City Rich in Renaissance Art and History Situated on three hills in the centre of the Tuscany region, Siena is an almost intact walled medieval city. Walking its narrow streets you can uncover Gothic palaces and pastry shops, unseen neighborhood rivalries, the unique shellshaped Piazza del Campo, and altarpieces of astounding beauty. Outside the old quarter you will find everything from lush green vineyards, valleys and wooded countryside, to volcanic areas. In a city famous for its art, visitors can enjoy the National Gallery, the Town Hall, the Cathedral and Cathedral Museum, and barely scratch the surface in Siena alone. Within the famous 13th-century Duomo, you could spend hours just staring at the flooring, a mosaic of 59 etched and inlaid marble panels. There are also many smaller galleries, museums, libraries and churches in the towns and villages scattered throughout Tuscany. Among the many summer events in Siena, the most famous is the Palio, a spectacular bareback horse race preceded by colourful, historic parades and festas, culminating in one of the oldest and largest street parties in Italy. There are also free organ recitals in the Cathedral, open-air operas, street performers and a myriad of other festivals throughout the month of August.

Siena Courses Each course is worth one full-year credit and is contingent on adequate enrolment. Students are not permitted to register for more than one course. For some courses there may also be one or two lectures held in Toronto before the start of the program; in this event, participants will be provided with further details in their admission documents. 77

Classes take place Monday to Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., with the exception of ITA102Y0, which runs 8:30 am to 1:00 pm (with a 30 minute break). Mandatory field trips are an integral part of each course, and may occur outside of class time on afternoons or Fridays. ANT396Y0: Special Topics: Italian Regional Foodways and Culture This course introduces students to the central place occupied by food, agriculture, cooking and eating in modern Italian culture. The goal of the course is to foster a deep and sensitive understanding of the historical development of Italian cuisine and to instill an appreciation of the critical importance of local climate and ecology to Italian cuisine through comparison of various regional foodways. We'll be looking at the scholarly literature on La Cucina italiana, enhancing our readings with field trips to food producers, and various tastings. Prerequisite: none Recommended Preparation: ANT100Y1/ANT204H1 This is a Social Science course; BR=none. Note: Not all food allergies can be accommodated for this course. Field trips: This course includes a course at the Espresso Academy of Mokaflor in Florence, an overnight trip to Perugia and Assisi and tours of local wineries and food producers. The cost of these trips is CAD$750 paid to UofT for return bus transportation to all sites, guides, all entrance fees and one lunch. Instructor: Anne Urbancic is a Senior Lecturer of Italian Studies and Co-ordinator of First-Year Program VIC ONE (Frye and Pearson Streams) at Victoria College, University of Toronto. An award winning instructor, Anne Urbancic has taught language and also culture many times in the Siena Summer Abroad Program.

She has published widely in North American and European journals and has contributed in various capacities to Quaderni d’Italianistica. Together with Giuliana Sanguinetti Katz, she has translated three novels, and two plays. She loves teaching this course and looks forward to exploring Italy's dyanmic and fascinating (and delicious) food and foodways in Siena 2014. FAH394Y0 Studies Abroad in Modern & Contemporary Art and Architecture: Italy in International Modernism – 1909 to the Present This course follows Italian art within the history of European and international modernism, from the First Futurist Manifesto in 1909 rejecting the “eternal and futile worship of the past,” through the problematic modernity of Italian fascism, the “transavantgarde” painters of the 1980’s who looked for “a past removed from the rhetoric of the great traditions, and into the present day. Field trips to the major collections of modern art and international exhibitions of contemporary art in Rome, Venice, and the hill towns of Tuscany will offer a rich context for this exploration of the dynamic Italy of the past hundred years. In this course you will be given the opportunity to think about what it’s like to be cutting-edge modern while living in a museum. You will also be given the opportunity to work on your own critical writing skills, thinking about describing works of art as a curator, critic, and, generally, creative writer. Prerequisites: one FAH half course in modern or contemporary art and architecture, or relevant academic preparation. This is a Humanities course; BR=1. 78

Field trips: Excursions to major collections of modern art offer a rich context for this exploration of the dynamic Italy of the past hundred years and of the present. Sites to be visited include Pistoia, Venice, Rome, Colle de Val D’Elsa and San Gimignano. The cost of these trips is CAD$880, paid to UofT for return bus transportation to all sites, overnight hotel accommodation in Rome and Venice, and most entry fees. Students should also budget CAD$15 for entry fees to be paid on-site in Rome. Instructor: Elizabeth Legge, Chair of the Department of Art, works in the field of European modern art and contemporary art and culture in Britain and Canada. Her books are on the surrealist artist Max Ernst and Freudian psychoanalysis in the 1920’s; and on Michael Snow’s beautiful film Wavelength. Her article on the Dada poet Tristan Tzara and his complicated cultural identities is being reprinted in a new book Dada in Debate (2014); and she has contributed a chapter to a major book on the multimedia artist Vera Frenkel (2013). She has taught in the Siena program four times, and has found the experience of introducing students to Italy -- including, of course, food -- while wandering off the beaten track in the quest for modern art in the midst of the great monuments of thousands of years, to be the best possible teaching experience. IRE332Y0: Special Topics: Cross Cultural Perspectives on Leadership Every leader, whether in business or the public sector, has a unique interpretation of their leadership imperative when it comes to executing their goals or business strategy. Many factors contribute to their perspective including individual differences and cultural, social, political and historical context. To understand this in a meaningful way is to become a more effective organizational contributor who fosters an environment of respect, mutual understanding, and collaboration in which differences are understood and celebrated. In this course students will develop a deep understanding of leadership such that it influences the leaders they become. The course begins with a North American appreciation of contemporary leadership, and then compares and contrasts it with the Italian and German perspectives. Side by side these three settings create an interesting case study of the subtle and fundamental ways in which leadership perspective impacts what we do, believe and expect of others and ourselves. Prerequisite: none This is a Social Science course; BR=3.

Field trips: Sites include a day excursion in Florence and a three-day trip to Rome. The last week of the program will take place in Berlin.

It will focus on the role played by the first Florentine writers (Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio), as well as by grammarians who in the sixteenth century either promulgated or struggled with the idea that Tuscan should be the common language of Italy. The course will also examine the role played by the Accademia della Crusca (founded in 1583 and still in existence in the beautiful surroundings of Florence) and by Alessandro Manzoni, who learned Tuscan in Florence before writing his famous novel I promessi sposi and was later designated supervisor of the national language after Italian Unification.

RSM395Y0 Special Topics: International Marketing This course looks at the opportunities and challenges provided by a globalized business world, with a particular focus on the logic for global brands. The pursuit of global brands has become truly global–no longer just companies from developed markets attracted to the economic growth and rising middle class populations of emerging markets, but marketers in those emerging markets looking to bring their brands to the more affluent consumers in developed markets. We will focus in particular on two global industries, wine and automobiles, in each of which Italy has a strong history and a less certain future. We will explore these two industries in depth, using both case studies and site visits, in order to come to a point of view on the strategic marketing challenges they offer to both local and global brand owners. Beyond these two core industries, we will discuss a number of other global brands to explore the management challenges and opportunities that face all brands, local and global. Prerequisites: RSM250H or relevant academic preparation. This is a Social Science course; BR=none.

Japan

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

I would highly recommend this program to anyone with an interest in Japan, the Japanese language, or anyone seeking to expand their horizons -- you will find it here, and so much more. 2013 Tokyo Program Participant

â&#x20AC;?

Tokyo Friday, July 4 to Friday August 15, 2014 (6 weeks) This is the eighth year of the University of Toronto Summer Program in Tokyo, Japan. The program is designed for students who wish to enhance their Japanese language skills while learning about Japanese culture. This program is hosted by the International Christian University (ICU). In addition to its regular academic offerings in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences, ICU runs an internationally-renowned program in Japanese language studies. Currently, more than 120 students from around the world enrol in their summer language courses. IMPORTANT: Space in this program is limited to 10 UofT students (visiting students are not eligible). Applicants must have a CGPA of at least 3.0, and, in addition to the Summer Abroad application, they will be required to complete the ICU form. Admission decisions will be made jointly by UofT and ICU. The deadline to apply and submit all supporting documents is February 14, 2014.

Skyscrapers, Shopping, Temples and Tea Houses The capital of Japan, Tokyo is a city of contrasts: it embraces mammoth scale and intricate detail, adrenaline pumping busy-ness and Zen-like calm. Tokyo is one of the largest cities in the world with a population of more than 12 million; almost one-fourth of Japanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total population lives within commuting distance of the city. Devastated twice in the last century by earthquake and bombing, Tokyo achieved rapid restoration both times to remain the centre of Japanese politics, economics, and culture. Tokyo also remains one of the safest cities in the world. The ICU campus is located in Mitaka City, a suburban community about 30 minutes by train from downtown Tokyo. Mount Fuji can be seen from ICU on clear days. The campus is a wooded area of 638,000 square meters, one of the most spacious in Japan. From the campus entrance, a broad avenue arched by cherry trees extends for 600 meters, ending at a circle of azaleas. School facilities include the library, student centre, the Taizanso gardens and tea houses, and the Yuasa Museum, with collections of Japanese folk craft and archaeological excavations.

Tokyo Courses Each course is worth one full-year credit; students are not permitted to register for more than one course. Students will enrol in an ICU course, but earn University of Toronto credit (i.e., the University of Toronto course number and grade will be listed on the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; UofT transcript). Classes are small (10-15 students) and take place Monday to Friday, 8:40 a.m. to 12:40 p.m. Afternoons are used for individual tutorial sessions (there is a tutorial session at least once a week for 87

each participant), language laboratory work, and Culture Program events (see Program Activities below). Students are also expected to study out of class on their own at least three hours per day. Japanese Language Courses The program offered in Tokyo comprises seven levels of language instruction with the following UofT equivalencies: C1 - EAS122Y0 C2 - EAS222Y0 C3 - EAS223Y0 C4 - EAS321Y0

C5 - EAS322Y0 C6 - EAS462Y0 C7 - EAS463Y0

See the Faculty of Arts & Science Calendar for information on the UofT course equivalencies, including exclusions and prerequisites (www.artsandscience.utoronto.ca/ofr/calendar/crs_eas.htm). These are Humanities courses; BR=1. Please note that ICU employs a different grading scale than the University of Toronto. In order to be consistent with the University of Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scale, grades for Japanese language courses will be adjusted. Submission of an application form is consent for implementation of the grade conversion scale. Important: UofT students are not guaranteed entrance into upper-year Japanese language courses on return to Toronto, but will need to pass a placement test. Students interested in continuing language studies at UofT should find out as early as possible what the requirements will be for them to advance to the appropriate level on their return from Tokyo.

Placement Exam The Japanese language courses above level C1 require students to complete a placement exam. This will ensure that students are enrolled in a level of study appropriate to their knowledge of Japanese. The placement exam is a computerized, multiple choice test with the majority of the instructions and problems administered in Japanese script. Students whose Japanese instruction has been based primarily on a Romanized text are required to learn Kana and an appropriate number of Kanji so that the examination best reflects their abilities. The test will be held at the ICU campus in Japan on Monday, July 7. On the first day of class (July 8) students will also have an interview and a short essay test. Because the placement exam occurs after students arrive in Japan, students who have previously taken Japanese courses at UofT risk being placed in a course they have already received credit for. Evaluation of the placement exam, interview, and essay is done by ICU. Every effort will be made to enrol students in the course to which they are best suited, but there is no guarantee that students will gain access to the level required for their UofT program of study. 88

Program Activities In addition to the Japanese language courses, ICU also runs a Culture Program. The aim of this program is to provide a diverse set of cultural contexts from which participating students can develop their understanding of the language, culture and people of Japan. The culture program includes a lecture series, on-campus activities, and a number of short trips off-campus to, for example, the National Kabuki Theater, a local elementary school, and a pottery workshop. All culture program activities are scheduled in the afternoon (some trips are on weekends). For some events there is an additional charge.

Accommodation and Meals Students in Tokyo can select accommodation at an on-campus dorm, homestay with local families, or off-campus residence (Gakusei-Kaikan). A limited number of rooms are available, but every effort will be made to satisfy your accommodation needs to the best of available resources. Note that the oncampus dorm and Gakusei Kaikan have a curfew of 11:30 p.m.; most homestay families also have a curfew. All costs below are in Canadian dollars. If you are interested in any of the accommodation options, please indicate this on the application form. Alternatively, students may organize their own accommodation or homestay with local families. a) On-Campus Dorm ICUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on-campus accommodation is a shared-living coeducational dormitory, Ginkgo House, consisting of separate living pods, each with common living/dining areas. All rooms are double occupancy. Alcohol and smoking are prohibited. Internet access is available, but students must bring their own laptop and ethernet cable. There is no meal plan. Students should budget approximately CAD$650 for purchased and self-prepared meals. The building is air-conditioned, and each pod has two showers, four toilets and a refrigerator. Each room is furnished with two beds, bedding, two desks, desk lights and closets. Each floor has a kitchenette furnished with a refrigerator, microwave ovens and induction cooktops, and a laundry room. Double room: CAD$1040 (paid to UofT) Availability: Friday, July 4 to Saturday, August 16 (at noon) Students in on-campus accommodation are required to submit a damage deposit of CAD$80 to UofT.

Peru

Huaca Colorada Huaca Colorada Archaeological Project Thursday, July 10 to Sunday, August 10, 2014 (4 weeks) This will be the first year of the University of Toronto’s Summer Program in Peru. This program provides a unique opportunity to receive intensive training in archaeological field methods at the site of Huaca Colorada, which is located in the beautiful desert landscape of Peru’s North Coast, a region famous for its remarkable archaeological heritage. In this course, students will learn about and practice archaeological field methods, including mapping, surveying and block excavation. A comparison of the site’s temple zone and domestic section illuminate the ideological strategies of different communities who resided at the center. The field experience will not only familiarize students with the fundamentals of archaeological research and Andean prehistory but will provide a rare opportunity to engage in the meaningful interpretation of the material record left behind by these ancient communities. IMPORTANT: Spaces in the course are limited. Applications for all programs will open on January 7 and will close on February 14, 2014.

Overview Over the past six years, Dr. Edward Swenson has been guiding U of T students through archaeological research at the pre-Inka urban center of Cañoncillo located in the Jequetepeque Valley of Peru’s North Coast. Recent investigations have focused on the Moche ceremonial center of Huaca Colorada (AD 600800). Elaborate spectacles of ritual warfare and human sacrifice, performed by specialists and celebrated by artists, constituted an overarching theme of Moche religious and political culture. Large urban centers, social stratification, and complex political economies based on irrigation agriculture are defining characteristics of Moche civilization. Students who participate in the study abroad program will be trained in the latest archaeological field methods and will participate in the investigation of ancient urbanism, ritual practices, household economies, craft-production, and state-level political structures.

Project Description Four seasons of investigations at Huaca Colorada have confirmed that the Late Moche component of the greater Cañoncillo urban system represents one of the largest and most architecturally complex settlements in the Jequetepeque Valley. Excavations have demonstrated that the elongated platform mound dominating the site did not serve simply as specialized religious or mortuary structure but anchored diversified social practices including high-status residence, craft production, food preparation, exclusive ritual performances, feasting, exchange, and political administration. The rich and varied data obtained during the previous field seasons strongly suggest that Huaca Colorada served as the seat of a powerful and independent political community geared to determining whether the authority of Huaca Colorada future research at the elites site could have been based on the exchange of ore and its subsequent transformation into ideologically charged status items. 93

Despite decades of fruitful research, archaeological analysis has most often been oriented toward interpreting how built environments served as instruments of political control, surplus extraction, and ideological indoctrination. In contrast, the innovative research at the prehistoric site of Huaca Colorada is designed to more holistically examine the meanings of ancient landscapes by focusing on the architectural prescription of ritual performance and everyday domestic activities. This research plan is being implemented through a comparative archaeological study of the main temple complex and the sizeable residential and production zones of this important Moche centre. Gauging how everyday domestic activities reinforced or possibly contradicted public ceremonial programs is critical for the investigation of local ideological strategies, authority structures, gender roles and identity politics. The important discoveries made by Dr. Swenson’s team have drawn the attention of the international media (including the Independent in the United Kingdom and National Geographic), and prospective students will have an unrivaled opportunity to work in an exceptional archaeological site.

Peru Course The University of Toronto will offer one course in Peru, worth one full-year credit. Field trips are an integral part of the course and are mandatory. The course has limited space and is contingent on adequate enrolment. ANT395Y0: Special Topics in Archaeology: Field Archaeology This course is designed as a general practicum in archaeological field methods. Students will receive training in the mapping, surveying, and block excavation of the site’s temple zone and domestic sectors. The comparative spatial analysis of public ceremony with quotidian activities will aid interpretation of the changing rhythms of political centralization defining this particular urban complex from the Gallinazo to Moche Periods. Such an approach will further illuminate the ideological strategies of different communities as a means to interpret how diverse agents promoted, contested, or identified with prevailing sociopolitical arrangements. The field experience will not only familiarize students with the fundamentals of archaeological research but will provide a rare opportunity to engage in the meaningful interpretation of the material record (“interpretation at the edge of the trowel”). Students will receive instruction in total station mapping, excavation, stratigraphic analysis, surface survey, mural conservation, flotation, and ceramic analysis. Field trips to nearby archaeological sites and lectures on Andean prehistory will also constitute important components of the program. Prerequisite: none Recommended Preparation: ANT100Y1/ANT204H1 This is a Social Science course; BR=3. 94

The work week will from run Monday to Friday with either Saturday or Sunday devoted to field trips. Daily work schedule: 5:00 am wake up, check excavation kits 5:30 am breakfast 6:00 am leave for field site 6:20 am arrive at San Lorenzo de Jatanca, walk through dune fields to Huaca Colorada 6:55 am arrive at Huaca Colorada, 15 minute break 7:10 am commence excavations 11:30 am onsite lunch 2:30 pm field work ends, take down unit lines, start walk back to vehicle 3:10 pm depart for Pacasmayo 3:30 pm arrive at hotel, personal time. 6:00 pm dinner 7:00 pm lab, notebook, photo inventory 8:30 pm lab work ends Equipment: While equipment will be provided, each student must bring their own trowel (preferably 5” blade; Marshalltowns are the choice for most archaeologists) and a personal measuring tape (6 m). Project Director: Dr. Edward Swenson is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Toronto, a position he has held since 2008. Prior to his appointment at Toronto, he was an Assistant Professor at the University of Lethbridge and a Visiting Professor at the University of Chicago. Professor Swenson has conducted archaeological research in Peru since 1997, and he has also participated in field work in Italy, Honduras, and Cambodia. Swenson’s theoretical interests include the pre-industrial city, violence and subject formation, the archaeology of ritual, and the politics of landscape and social memory. His extensive archaeological research has made important contributions understanding the role of ritual practice in the development and transformation of past political regimes.

Program Activities The program will include field trips to famous archaeological sites in Peru including Sipán, Huacas de Moche, Chan Chan, Pacatnamú, and Huaca Cao Viejo. A visit to archaeological museums in Lima will also be arranged at the end of the trip.

Weather, Attire and Health July and August are winter months in the Southern Hemisphere, a comfortable season to work in northern Peru. The afternoons are characterized by highs of 20-23 degrees Celsius, while the evenings and mornings are cool (lows of 1015 degrees Celsius). Field archaeology students must be in excellent health and willing to work long, physically-demanding days. If you are under medical care of any kind, you are advised to consult with a physician before going to Peru. All health concerns should be discussed with the Professional and International Programs office prior to submitting your application form. It is imperative that students bring comfortable work clothes including long pants and a hat. Long pants are required both to maximize comfort and to respect local campesino communities neighboring the archaeological site. However, shorts are acceptable along the seaside in Pacasmayo. Students must also bring a bottle of strong sun block as the desert sun can cause serious burns. 95

Accommodation and Meals Students will travel with the project director (Dr. Edward Swenson) and graduate students by bus from Lima to the Jequetepeque Valley (12 hour trip). The bus is modern, safe, and comfortable. The project team will reside in a quaint hotel (hostal) on the Pacific Ocean in the town of Pacasmayo. The accommodations are equipped with internet access and computers for student use, and provide an evening guard service. The archaeological laboratory is housed in a building within walking distance from the hotel. Students will have access to handwashing laundry service at the hotel. Food for all meals will be provided, except for Sunday evening when the project cook takes the day off. Although paid for by the project, students will be responsible for acquiring breakfast and lunch supplies and packing lunches the evening prior to field work. A formal dinner will be served by our excellent project cooks every night of the week at 6:00 pm, except for Sundays. Unfortunately, vegans cannot be accommodated in the field school. There are food options for vegetarians who are not vegans. Accommodation availability at the site: Thursday, July 10 to Sunday, August 10 Students are required to submit a refundable damage deposit of CAD$80. This will be returned on completion of the program provided there is no damage to the residence or other program facilities.

Group Flight No group flight is available for this program; students must make their own travel arrangements. Students will be informed about exact flight details after admission. Students will book the same flight to Lima.

Entry Requirements for Visitors to Peru All students are responsible for making sure that their necessary travel documents are in order. Information on entry requirements to Peru is available from the Peruvian Consulate General in Toronto: www.conperutoronto.com At of the time of publication (December 2013), Canadians do not require a tourist visa to enter Peru. An entry stamp will be provided in the passport upon arrival at a Peruvian port of entry for up to 180 days, the length of which is determined by immigration officers. Citizens of other countries may have additional requirements. Important: All participants are required to submit a completed signed Medical Clearance Form after admission to the program.

Pre-Departure Orientation (PDO) All students admitted to the Summer Abroad program are required to successfully complete an online PDO, which will provide general information and advice on international health and safety issues. Students must also attend the in-person Peru PDO, at which they will receive site-specific health and safety information, a course syllabus, Student Handbook, and detailed program information (e.g., about accommodation, services, facilities, and travel instructions to and from the airport).

2013 Southeastern Europe Program Participant

Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia Sunday, May 18 to Sunday, June 15, 2014 (4 weeks) This is the fifth year of the University of Toronto’s summer program in Southeastern Europe. From empires to modern states, ethnic wars and peace building to European Union integration, Southeastern Europe provides a fascinating case study for students in areas of politics, history, and conflict resolution. Through coursework and field trips to the major regional cities, students can witness first-hand the transformation of this critical area. The program is hosted by the Karl-Franzens University of Graz. This institution has over 400 years of academic excellence and several Nobel Prize laureates, including Erwin Schrödinger. Founded in 1582 and with a current population of 22,000 students, it is the second-oldest and second-largest university in Graz. IMPORTANT: Spaces in the course and group flight are limited. Applications for all programs will open on January 7 and will close on February 14, 2014.

Explore a Vibrant Region in the Making Graz, the home-base for the program, is Austria’s second largest city (with a population of over 250,000), and is the capital of the Austrian province of Styria. There are four universities and more than 45,000 students in Graz, making it a real student-centred city. Graz’s unique old town centre, with its Renaissance buildings and Baroque churches, narrow streets and alleys, has become a UNESCO World Heritage site. Geographic proximity and shared historical legacy with Southeastern Europe are matched with easy access to major Western European countries, a thriving cultural life and an excellent academic environment. Before settling into Graz, students will spend their first few days in the historic Seggau Castle located just 30 minutes south of the city. The castle harbors a rich historical and cultural heritage dating back to Roman times. Today, it is also known for its premier conference facilities and its reputation for excellent local wines. There is no better place to ponder the legacy of the Habsburg Empire in the nearby Balkans. In Graz for the next two weeks, students will stay in a hotel steps away from the downtown core, with its many museums and galleries. The group will then embark on an intensive regional tour of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia. The field becomes the classroom as the group visits cities made famous or even infamous for their roles in the wars of Yugoslavia but which also have an important historical legacy that predates the conflicts of the 1990s. With stops in Belgrade in Serbia, Sarajevo and Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the magnificent coastal port of Zadar, students can witness first hand the legacy of the wars and the ongoing transformation of the region. Students will also participate in a weekend trip to Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. 99

Southeastern Europe Course The University of Toronto will offer one course in Southeastern Europe. The course is worth one full-year credit and is contingent on adequate enrolment. For the first three weeks classes take place Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Mandatory field trips occur on some weekends, as well as during the final eight days of the program. POL368Y0 Return to Europe: Bringing Southeast Europe into the European Union In the world of international relations and political development, no other region has seen more rapid changes than the Balkans. The course begins with a broad historical introduction to the legacy of both the First and Second World Wars, the communist systems and the sources of the communist collapse in 1989. This is followed by a consideration of: the outbreak of wars in the region in the 1990s; the often ill-fated international responses; and the proposed/ current road to stability, pluralism and peace under the auspices of the European Union and the United States. Students will have the opportunity to study and evaluate the attempts to restore stability and multi-ethnicity through various internationally mandated peace treaties, and the impact of the Europeanization process in the Balkans. Students will also be encouraged to examine the remaining internal and external challenges that remain for some states in the region. Prerequisite: none This is a Social Science course (BR=3) and can be counted toward both the Political Science and the European Studies programs at the University of Toronto. Field trips: A weekend trip to Zagreb in Croatia will take place at the end of the first week. The core field trip is the week-long excursion to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Croatia during week four. For these trips, transportation and accommodation are included, along with breakfast and lunch. Instructor: Robert C. Austin teaches the politics and history of Central Europe and the Balkans at the Centre for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies at the Munk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto where he also coordinates the undergraduate program in European Studies and the Hungarian Studies Program. In the past, Austin was a Tirana-based journalist for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, a correspondent for the Economist Group of Publications in Slovakia and a writer for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in Toronto. 100

Program Activities When students arrive they will be given an orientation of Seggau Castle. There will be a welcome dinner for all participants at the castle, a wine cellar tour and a hike to nearby “Buschenschank” a unique and traditional tavern where local wine and foods are served. When arriving in Graz, students will be given an orientation of the University of Graz. During the course there will be a Graz city tour and regular film nights. Students will also receive a farewell dinner in Graz after their return from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia. Students have one free long weekend where they can visit nearby Vienna or Salzburg in Austria or Trieste or even Venice in Italy. The University of Graz’s International Office will help with logistical details.

Accommodation and Meals Three different accommodation arrangements will be used during this program (see below). Students are required to submit a refundable damage deposit of CAD$80. This will be returned on completion of the program provided there is no damage to the accommodations, university, or other program facilities. Accommodation availability: Sunday, May 18 to Sunday, June 15, 2014 Week 1-3: Seggau and Graz — The Seggau Castle is located approx. 45 km south of Graz and stands on top of a hill over the city of Leibnitz, in the vineyards of southern Austria. Accommodation will be provided in double rooms with full board included, as well as internet access. Students can learn more about the castle and its history at www.seggau.com. In Graz, all students will be housed in a local hotel that is located in the city centre and is only a 15 minute walk from the university. Accommodation will be provided in double rooms, each with ensuite bathroom. Breakfast is included. Students who bring their own laptop can connect to the free wi-fi available in the room.

SEVILLE Thursday, June 26 to Thursday, July 31, 2014 (5 weeks) This will be the first year that the University of Toronto has offered a summer course in Spain. With the city of Seville serving as the classroom, this course is designed to introduce students to Hispanic culture. The program will be organized and taught by CINECU (Centro Internacional de Estudios Culturales) which is located within EUSA (Estudios Universitarios y Superiores de Andalucía), a private school that has been affiliated with the University of Seville since 1996. EUSA offers one of the most modern learning environments in Andalucía. The school is located in Nervion, a fashionable neighbourhood just a short walk from historical monuments, parks, shopping centres and a major soccer stadium. IMPORTANT: Space in this program is limited. Applications for all programs will open on January 7 and will close on February 14, 2014.

Seville (Sevilla) Seville is the capital city of Andalucía, one of the most visited, colourful, and historically significant regions of Spain. Seville is perhaps best known for being one of the most important Moorish kingdoms of the Middle Ages and the centre of trade with the New World during the colonial era. In addition, many of the typically “Spanish” cultural phenomenon that attract tourists (flamenco, bullfighting, tapas, and olive orchards) are identified with this southern city. With over one million inhabitants, the capital city has a lot to offer, without feeling congested or overwhelming like many large cities. Festivals abound, such as the Territorios Sevilla which includes traditional music, humanitarian initiatives, and multicultural performances and the European Film Festival, which takes place in the fall. In 2014, Spain will be defending its title in the soccer World Cup (June 12th to July 13th in Brazil) so the city will be filled with soccer fans from all over the world. The summer weather is hot and humid, but nighttime temperatures are perfect for being outside, where one of the most deeply-rooted of all Seville’s traditions is carried out: the “tapeo.” During the summer months people spend the evening frequenting the many restaurant and bar terraces set up along the banks of the Guadalquivir river. Seville is 2.5 hours away from Madrid on the AVE (high-speed train) and even closer by air. Some of the most popular coastal regions in Spain, Huelva and Cadiz, are less than two hours away by bus, as is Doñana, one of Europe’s largest national parks.

Seville Course The University of Toronto will offer one course in Seville. This course is worth one full-year credit and is contingent on adequate enrollment. Classes will take place Monday through Thursday mornings. Mandatory field trips will take place outside of regular class time. 105

SPA255Y0 Topics in Hispanic Culture This course has two main objectives: To explore the diverse cultures and the interrelationship between Latin America and Spain over five centuries (1492 to present). We will study the institutions, beliefs, and symbols that have shaped these cultures. We will also study how Seville served as the cultural axis between the New World and Europe for centuries. The streets, monuments, museums of the city reflect the path to that past but also projects into the future. Precisely for that reason, once a week we will meet outside of the classroom and the city will be our laboratory. Our visits to key Sevillian sites will complement the material covered in the text. All readings and discussions are in English. No knowledge of Spanish is required. Prerequisite: None. This is a Humanities course; BR=1. Field Trips: This course will include mandatory field trips to the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous cultural sites including visits to Italica, Cordoba and a three-day trip to Granada. Instructor: Dr. Natalia Couste completed her doctoral studies at The University of Toronto, where she worked as a course instructor. She has done extensive research on urban spaces and participated in numerous symposiums in Canada and Spain. Based on a transatlantic perspective she carried a comparative study between contemporary Mexico City, Santiago de Chile and the Golden Age urban spaces of Madrid and Seville. She earned her Master's Degree at the University of Western Ontario specializing in Southern Cone literature. She's currently the acting coordinator for the Canada-Spain Summer Abroad Program. Her professional interests include international education and the development of innovative cultural programs for international students and scholars.

Itinerary & Activities: The program will begin with a welcome dinner for all participants. The following day students will have a session orientating them to Seville. Students will also participate in guided tours to the main historical sites in Seville and cultural excursions (including trips to a local beach, olive oil factory, and a flamenco show). There will also be a one-day excursion to Italica, an ancient 106

Roman city where Trajan and Hadrian were born, a one-day excursion to Cordoba, and a three-day excursion to Granada, including visits to the Cathedral, Royal Chapel, and the Alhambra, the most famous Moorish fortress of Spain and one of the most visited monuments in the world. Students will bid adieu to their fellow travellers at the farewell dinner. All field trip costs, including hotel accommodation for the trip to Granada, plus the welcome and farewell dinners, are included in the program fees.

Accommodation and Meals Students will stay at the Estanislao del Campo residence, an off-campus university dormitory, which is located close to the EUSA campus (a 10 minute bus ride). The dormitory is a modern facility home to both international and Spanish students. Students will live in single (bachelor style) rooms that include a kitchen, air conditioning, TV and an ensuite bathroom. In-room internet access can be purchased for a small fee. Accommodation availability: Thursday, June 26 to Thursday July 31 Single rooms (bachelor style): $950 Students may opt to purchase a meal plan through the residence, which serve traditional homemade food, or choose to do their own cooking. Students should budget $925 for meals. Students are required to submit a refundable damage deposit of CAD$80. This will be returned provided there has been no damage to the accommodation or facilities used during the program.

DUBAI Friday, May 2 to Friday, May 30, 2014 (4 weeks) This is the third year that the University of Toronto has offered a summer course in United Arab Emirates (UAE). The program will be hosted at the Etisalat Academy in the heart of Dubai with easy access to the metro and the epicentre of business, commerce and leisure just a short ride away. The Etisalat Academy is the largest single source provider of training in the Middle East. It has been hosting groups of international students and professionals at its 1,200,000 square foot training facility for over 30 years. Students will benefit from being immersed in a professional and world class business environment. Students will learn the foundations of financial accounting as well as international business and managerial science topics. The topics will focus on the Middle East, examining the recent growth and economic challenges in this region, the oil and gas industry, tourism perspectives, and Islamic banking. Where possible, the course will also draw comparisons between approaches to doing business in the Middle East and Western countries. IMPORTANT: Space in this program is limited to up to 30 students. Applications for all programs will open on January 7 and will close on February 14, 2014. In addition, applicants will be requested to answer a onepage questionnaire and may be asked to attend an interview. Preference will be given to students in the Rotman Commerce program who demonstrate their suitability for the program. Students from other programs are welcome to apply.

From Majestic Mosques to Emerging Global Marketplace Located in the south east of the Arabian peninsula, the UAE is a loose federation of seven emirates: Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al-Quwain. Each Emirate has its own ruler and operates relatively autonomously, maintaining control over revenues including those from oil and gas. Close to 39% of the UAEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GDP comes from the petroleum industry. The population is more diverse than most countries in the region. Less than 20% of the population are Emirati, more than one-third are South Asian. There is also a growing population of people from Europe and North Africa. The program is hosted in Dubai, the epicenter of the Arabian boom. From the tallest buildings to the largest malls, Dubai has some of the glitziest leisure spots on the planet. It is a unique blend of Arabian culture and Western modernism. Nowhere but in Dubai will you find an indoor ski resort in the middle of the dessert in the middle of the summer!

United Arab Emirates Course The University of Toronto will offer one course in the UAE. The course is worth one full-year credit and is contingent on adequate enrolment. 111

Classes will take place in the mornings, Sunday to Wednesday. Mandatory field trips are an integral part of the course and may extend beyond class time. RSM395Y0 Special Topics: Introduction to International Management and Accounting This two-part course covers both the fundamentals of financial accounting while surveying various contemporary and traditional topics in international business from a Middle East perspective. The Financial Accounting component of this course introduces students to financial accounting, on both conceptual and technical levels. This course also provides an opportunity for non-Commerce students to learn the fundamentals of accounting, without having to enroll in a Commerce program. The International Management component will compare and contrast approaches to business in the Middle East in relation to the West (including Europe) particularly in the areas of ethics, tourism, oil and gas, and Islamic finance. This course will be taught through readings, case studies, class discussions, guest speakers, and field trips. A key objective of the international component is to introduce students to a variety of international business related issues in the Middle East. Business in the Middle East is similar to business in the West in many ways. There are also several cultural differences and differences in the approach to business in the Middle East. Through several onsite visits, students will experience firsthand the differences and similarities between business practices in the Middle East and business practices in the West and in Europe. Prerequisite: None.

South Africa: Biological Anthropology/ Archaeology Monday, June 2 to Friday, July 18, 2014 (7 weeks) This program will take place at the University of Cape Town (UCT), a worldrenowned English speaking institution with over 21,000 students located at the foot of Table Mountainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peak, with panoramic views of much of Cape Town, the legislative capital of South Africa. Students will be placed in the Stable Light Isotope Laboratory within the Archeometry Research Unit in the Archaeology Department at UCT and will earn an ANT396Y0 credit that can be used towards their degree requirements. ANT396Y0 Research Topic Abroad Course credit for research or field studies abroad under the supervision of a faculty member. 122

This course is open to B.Sc. majors with at least 8.0 FCEs. This is a Social Science course; BR=none. The program will begin with a reading list and one week preparatory course in Toronto with the instructor. Each student will take responsibility for archaeologically derived human tissue samples, which they will be analyzing at UCT using stable light isotope technology to help reconstruct the diet, climate and food webs of prehistoric Ontario. During their first week in Cape Town, students will take a five-day course at UCT comprised of intensive lecture and laboratory sessions. Stable light isotope analysis is one of the key tools in the study of ancient and modern environments and climates, because it allows precise tracing and quantification of change. This course introduces students to the principles of stable light isotope approaches, outlines the history of the field and applications of the major light isotopes in the life and earth sciences. Students will train and be supervised in lab work at UCT for four weeks following the course at UCT. During this time, students will be generating data from the Ontario samples. The exploration of Southern African archaeology, ecology and palaeoclimate that began during the UCT course will be continued through local and regional field trips, as weather permits. Students will travel to Johannesburg during the last week of the program to attend the Pan African Archaeological Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conference.

Research Supervisor Dr. Susan Pfeiffer is a professor at U of T and a research associate at the University of Cape Town. Her research concentrates on reconstructing the conditions of life from characteristics of bones and teeth, where she is especially interested in newer methods that focus on the tissue level, such as biomechanical modeling and histology. She pursues research questions in southern Ontario, and in southern Africa, seeking to understand diverse human adaptations.

Eligibility and Selection Criteria â&#x20AC;˘ Applicants should be in second year or higher of a science program and have at least some basic knowledge of physical sciences, including chemistry. Undergraduate courses in biological anthropology, archaeological science, and/or ecology are recommended. â&#x20AC;˘ Applicants may be invited for an interview.

Accommodations and Meals

Accommodations will be reserved at a local hostel in Observatory, a student area that is a five minute drive to UCT. The hostel is a four-bedroom house with small private garden, fully fitted kitchen, and two bathrooms (one with shower and one with bath/shower). Students may have to share bathroom and kitchen facilities with other visitors. The hostel charges approximately CAD$1 for 20 minutes of computer and Internet use. Alternatively, the hostel has wi-fi. The cost of a double room for the duration of the program would be approximately CAD$825. 123

For a single room, the cost would be approximately CAD$1625. Students should budget approximately CAD$875 for meals based on an estimate of $25/day for self-prepared and purchased meals.

Physics in Switzerland May to August 2014 (16 weeks) Final dates will be confirmed once the research schedule has been set in early 2014. ATLAS is a particle physics experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is one of the world’s largest and most respected centres for research in particle physics. Seven UofT professors are among the scientists conducting research there, leading a group of approximately 25 UofT researchers on ATLAS. The experiment is recreating the conditions at the birth of the Universe and will bring us closer to a more complete understanding of the subatomic structure of our world. In this program, students will work on a project analyzing Large Hadron Collider data under the supervision of one of the senior scientists in the group. Students will earn a PHY396Y0 credit that can be used towards their degree requirements. PHY396Y0 Research Topic Abroad Course credit for research or field studies abroad under the supervision of a faculty member. Prerequisite: At least 8.5 FCEs and no more than 14.0 FCEs. This is a Science course; BR=5. The course will begin with up to two weeks in Toronto, followed by up to 12 weeks working in the laboratory at CERN, and finally one to two concluding weeks back in Toronto where students will complete their final report. Research supervisor: Professor Pekka K. Sinervo has held various leadership positions at the University of Toronto and with several national and international research groups. He has been recognized for his exceptional teaching skills and is widely respected in the research community. His research has centred on the study of particle interactions at very high energies. He currently is a member of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider and is focusing on the search for new types of particles and interactions.
