Chester & England Liverpool, JUNE 4 - JUNE 25, 2024 DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY The 2024 summer program in Poulton, United Kingdom, offers students an unprecedented opportunity to experience an intensive field school study in archaeology and English history. Located just five miles from the medieval city of Chester, Poulton is home to a multi-period excavation site dating back to the Mesolithic period. Prior excavations have uncovered a chapel and graveyard, which has yielded more than 850 skeletal remains thus far, and which suggests another 800 burials yet to be unearthed. There is evidence, too, of high-status Roman occupation, Bronze Age farming, Neolithic activity and Mesolithic use of the site for seasonal hunting. It is suggested that Poulton has been home to nearly 10,000 years of continuous human activity. Students will participate in the continuing excavation, spending 10 days on-site, working alongside archaeologists and volunteers. Students will be expected to learn archaeological methodology, gain hands-on experience in an active and significant excavation, and learn how to process artifacts and human skeletal remains. While not on-site, students will visit other ruins of historic and prehistoric significance, process artifacts and skeletal remains in the Liverpool John Moores University bio-archaeology lab, and explore the city of Chester.

PROGRAM FEE: $4,000 COURSEWORK Students must enroll in the 6-credit ANT 305: Field School in Archaeology course via BannerWeb.

South Africa JANUARY 2 – JANUARY 18, 2025 DEPARTMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT, GEOGRAPHY, AND MARINE SCIENCES The focus of this program to is to engage students first-hand in the study and analysis of current environmental justice and sustainability issues in South Africa’s Western Cape Province. Students will be exposed to the complexities of these issues in a variety of local and regional environments and sociocultural contexts, from the semi-arid Little Karoo Desert to the metropolis of Cape Town. The substantial variety of natural and cultural environments in a rather small geographic area makes the experience ideal for a short-term study abroad program. After successful completion of the program, students will have developed detailed knowledge and understanding of the social, economic, political, and environmental factors that need to be considered when analyzing land use, water resource, and coastal development conflicts through the lens of environmental justice. While students will develop an understanding of sustainable development initiatives, and social and environmental justice issues primarily in the context of South Africa’s Western Cape Province, students will also learn to transfer their gained knowledge to other regional contexts.

PROGRAM FEE: $TBD

“The Southern in Paris program was an amazing month and an adventure of a lifetime. I saw, did, and learned so much about Paris, the world, and myself while exploring with the class, as well as on my own. I got to see France’s world-famous military parade, wander the labyrinthine halls and galleries of the Louvre Museum, make Chantilly whipped cream at a chateau in the countryside, and eat all the smoked salmon and camembert baguettes I wanted (and try so much other great food, too). I loved it!” Alyssa Bumstead, M.A. in Romance Languages
