Why Study Abroad?

Last yearﾃ不 Summer Study Abroad program was one of our most successful ever! Studying abroad is fast becoming an integral part of the University of Richmond experience, so we strongly recommend that you take advantage of one of this yearﾃ不 programs. There are twenty challenging and exciting destinations to choose from, with topics of interest to all subject majors. New programs in Australia, Cambridge, Scotland and Spain are worth a special look.

We try to keep costs to a minimum, by not charging you credit for summer abroad programs. That represents a saving of over $1,700 for a 6-credit course, and can put the overall cost of a program in a different light. In addition, we set aside $30,000 a year to provide student bursaries, so make sure to check if you are eligible.

All our programs are designed to be academically rigorous and reflect the highest academic standards, but it is the summer, so we try to build some fun into the program as well. Most of our programs now include excursions, family stays or special events to introduce you to the language, people and culture of your host country.

European Business and Culture The European Union May 19, 2003 to June 10, 2003

International Business study tour led by Jonathan B. Wight, Ph.D. PROGRAM: This trip provides students with an invaluable

first-hand introduction to the European Union and the impact of cultural differences on the way business is conducted. Through tours of production facilities and meetings with executives, students will obtain immediate insight into the role of cultural expectations and traditions so critical to international business. The trip also provides students with a sensitivity to the role of business protocol, and the social skills necessary to function effectively in an international business environment. After returning from the trip, students will write a paper analyzing the cultural differences observed, including an in-depth analysis of one of the companies visited.

The program begins with a series of class meetings during spring semester to provide background information on the companies and countries to be visited. Through a combination of planned excursions and independent sightseeing, students acquire an overview of the historical and cultural setting of seven countries. The program provides a balanced combination of business-oriented academic training and informal cultural experiences. The tour group includes students from other universities, and many participants form life-long friendships.

The revolution which separated the Greek people from the Ottoman Empire began in 1821. Nine years later the war for independence was won and Greece became a nation. In so doing it was following in the quest for "liberty" which had already been successfully sought and gained in America and in France. Enthusiasm for both the French and this new country of ÒEllasÓ or "Greece" ran high in the youthful United States of America as shared brothers and sisters in the benefits of the revolutionary ideas of western Renaissance and Enlightenment thought. But few realized, and most of those who did know elected to forget, that the Hellenes had never been a ÒwesternÓ culture, although the ideas which had created the ÒWestÓ had experienced their birth among the Greeks in the remote time of Socrates and his student Plato.

The Greeks themselves had taken a different path from the West, their civilization and cultural ideas always orienting themselves toward the East as part of the ancient Hellenic and Hellenistic world, and then successively the eastern Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman empires. If they remembered anything about their pre-Ottoman past, it was as Eastern Roman citizens of the Byzantine world.

Constantinople, not Rome or Athens, was their revered city, as it remains to this day.

The intellectual leaders of this Ottoman-Byzantine society, however, realized that they must have help if they were to carry out their Enlightenment induced dream of

independence, learned through study in foreign universities of the West, particularly Paris. And so they popularized among their own people, and took to the Western powers as a demand for support, a new idea that while true, had little to do with the conscious thinking of those whom it would free. These Western trained leaders claimed that Greece was the quintessential Western country, for it was there that the ideas originated upon which the West was founded, spread to the west by the Hellenized Romans and the Renaissance. As part of their plan, the link between the fifth century B.C. and the nineteenth century was shortened so that it appeared that the almost fifteen hundred years of Greek other-directedness was ostensibly swept away. And a conscious program was designed to create a new Greece or Ellas, which saw itself as the direct heir of the age of Pericles to which the West traced its origins and its continuity. It was a triumphant fiction, for it not only attracted foreign western powers to the side of the Greeks in their revolution but also created a national pride in the people themselves. But the triumph was to be costly for the Greeks in that the idea which brought their new country into being also caused a bifurcation of the Greek mentality.

The Greeks came to think of themselves as the preeminent westerners where Western Civilization had been created while remaining in fact the product of eastern, and particularly Byzantine-Ottoman thought. That bifurcation continues to haunt the Greeks today as Greece embraces (continued on next page)

wholeheartedly the European Community yet does not intellectually share Europe's heritage or tradition and therefore stands aloof.

This is the idea we will explore in our program. Visiting the great sites of the remains of Classical and Byzantine Greece, we will explore them as we examine the modern country and its role in the world today. No Greek thinks of himself or herself as European while at the same time considering every European to be in legacy a Greek.

PROGRAM DIRECTOR AND INSTRUCTOR:

Prof. Stuart L. Wheeler, Department of Classical Studies, University of Richmond. Professor Wheeler is Associate Professor of Classical Studies and Coordinator of the Classical Civilization Program. He has directed and taught previous programs in Greece for the University of Richmond Study Abroad Program and for the Mediterranean Society of America.

PROGRAM: The University of Richmond study-abroad

program in Greece offers four study-abroad opportunities.

1. A two-week study program on the Greek mainland plus an independent project. Three credit hours. CLSC 499 2. A two-week study program to the Greek islands plus an independent project. Three credit hours. CLSC 499 3. A four-week study program to both the Greek mainland and the islands. Three credit hours. Classics 312.

4. A four-week study program to both the Greek mainland and the islands plus an independent project. Six credit hours. Classics 312 and Classics 499.

All independent studies will emphasize an individual topic relating to modern and ancient Hellenic history or society and their interrelationship. The topic must be approved in advance by the instructor in charge. At the end of the program after returning home, the student will submit a paper on the results of this study.

Each participant should keep a daily journal in which each dayÕs activities and the participantÕs reaction to these activities are recorded. A paper summarizing the journalÕs content is required. The summary will be due to the instructor within 30 days of return to the USA. Please send all written materials to Prof. Stuart Wheeler, Department of Classical Studies, North Court 206, University of Richmond, Virginia 23173.

TRAVEL AND LIVING ARRANGEMENTS:

Participants will travel on land by motorcoach and to the islands by ferryboat. Throughout the program students will live in good hotels within easy reach of the areas of Greece targeted for study.

HOTELS AND MEALS: Our hotels in Greece are listed in the detailed plan of the program (available through program director). Breakfasts are included in the price of our entire program. Other meals will be outside of the hotels in local tavernas and restaurants and are not included in our price.

Food prices are similar to those prevailing in the United States. Restaurants outside of Athens are less expensive than those in Athens.

PROGRAM COSTS:

$3,500 - full program or $1,750 - only the mainland or the island portions.

Cost includes: s UR tuition, all transportation and accommodations in Greece (including breakfast). Students will be responsible for covering the additional cost of travel to and from Greece, personal spending, and personal-property insurance. A non-refundable deposit of $150 must accompany application to the program.

FINANCIAL AID: University of Richmond students eligible for any kind of need-based financial aid can apply for need related grants from the UR Office of Financial Aid. Deadline: March 1, 2003. (Students applying for UR financial aid must register for both Classics 312 and Classics 499.)

Perugia

Italy Summer Study in Perugia

May 24 - June 27, 2003

The town of Perugia (493 meters above sea level) dominates the Tiber Valley on a range of hills in the heart of Umbria, of which it is the administrative center. It is 100 miles north of Rome and 80 miles south of Florence. An ancient Umbrian and later Etruscan center, Perugia became Roman in 295 B.C. Close to Perugia are some of the most well-known towns in Italy, including Assisi, Gubbio, Orvieto, and Urbino. With its narrow, winding streets flanked by terracotta-roofed stone houses and palazzi, its large squares dominated by churches and other public buildings, Perugia, too, has retained its medieval profile.

However, due to the presence here of the Universitˆ di Perugia and the Universitˆ per Stranieri (for international students), it also provides a very rich and lively cultural experience, including museum exhibits, concert series, festivals, etc.

The University of Richmond Summer Study Abroad Program in Perugia is designed to provide its participants with an enjoyable and intellectually stimulating experience that combines coursework and travel for the purpose of investigating Italian language and culture.

The program will begin with an orientation session in Richmond, before departure, which will answer many preliminary questions and provide a starting-point for studentsÕ inquiries into Italian life, language and culture.

Upon arrival in Perugia, there will be a two day orientation there, too (May 24 & 25).

LODGING: Students will be living in student housing complexes with Italian and international students.

COST OF PROGRAM : Approximately $4,200

Cost includes: s 6 credit hours s Housing s Airport transfers in Italy (from Rome to Perugia) s Resident Director s Orientation s Some excursions s Institute & UniversitaÕ Facilities s Cultural activities s Discount card s Student health Insurance s Transcripts

PROGRAM: Our program is linked to the Umbra institute

of Perugia and the Universit‡ per Stranieri of Perugia. It is a five-week program offering students a combination of language immersion, cultural exposure and travel experience that should enhance academic and personal growth.

Students will be required to take six credits of coursework, including the possibility of intensive beginning and intermediate language study at PerugiaÕs Universit‡ per Stranieri. Completion of the five week language course is equivalent to a year of beginning or Intermediate Italian at UR.

London Arts

May 13 Ð June 6, 2003

Observe, participate and study in the rich arts environment of London with a particular emphasis on museum studies and theatre production. What makes London the international arts capital that it is? What is it about the culture, the environment, and the people that make all the arts disciplines grow in many divergent directions and yet continue to be so vital to the culture of a country? Why are the arts so important to the people of London and the entire United Kingdom?

THE PROGRAM: This interdisciplinary program will examine which elements of English culture have given rise to the rich English tradition of the arts. By concentrating primarily on the areas of museum studies and theatre production, students will immerse themselves in the many arts opportunities available in London and will attempt to determine how the culture of the city and the country have not only encouraged the various arts disciplines to flourish but also have demanded a wide range of visions and styles to develop within each of these arts disciplines. Students will analyze how the visual and performing arts influence each other and determine how successes in one discipline breed successes in many. (Program requires a minimum of 12 students.)

Students will earn six hours of academic credit by registering for Theatre Arts 312 and Art History 322 through the University of RichmondÕs School of Continuing Studies.

REQUIREMENTS: The courses will be taught as college level

seminars and will place special emphasis on analytical thinking, cultural research, and communication. A minimum of one semester of college studies in the arts or humanities is required. (AP students in these areas are also eligible.)

Contact instructor for a detailed syllabus.

INSTRUCTORS:

Walter Schoen, Associate Professor of Theatre at the University of Richmond, has worked in professional theatre across the United States including on Broadway and at many of our leading regional theatres such as the Denver Center Theatre Company, the Oregon Shakespearean Festival, the Milwaukee Repertory Theatre, and the San Diego Repertory Theatre.

Richard Waller, Executive Director of University Museums at the University of Richmond, is also on the faculty of the Department of Art and Art History. He was at the Brooklyn Museum of Art for nineteen years and also taught for many years at New YorkÕs Parsons School of Design before joining the University. During his museum career, he has curated and organized many exhibitions of both historical and contemporary art and has written extensively on the visual arts. Here at Richmond, he teaches studio classes as well as art history and museum studies courses.

CLASSES: Seminars will meet each morning of our

residency to analyze the previous dayÕs arts experiences while preparing for the dayÕs events. Guest lectures by prominent educators in the various social, cultural and artistic disciplines will suggest means of analyzing the synergy between the cultural environment and the artistic products. The weekly schedule will include three to four theatre productions and three to four intensive museum or gallery visits.

LIVING ARRANGEMENTS: Students will be housed in apartments in a centrally located London area convenient to the seminar site and to public transportation to museums and the theatre district. Apartments will be fully furnished and include modest kitchen facilities.

EXCURSIONS: An overnight trip to Stratford-on-Avon is included as part of the program.

London Internship

May 8 Ð July 3, 2003

Note: The program is open to current UR students including seniors. Applications from non-UR students will be considered.

London, the capital of Great Britain, is one of EuropeÕs largest cities and is also one of the major financial and commercial hubs of Europe. Yet its political and economic importance does not overshadow its significance as one of the worldÕs leading cultural and artistic centers. London is unrivaled for the excellence and diversity of its theatres, concert halls, museums, and art galleries. Although London is a large cosmopolitan metropolis, it is surprisingly easy to settle into, get around, and get to know, thanks to an exceptional public transportation system. All of these elements combine to make London a perfect location for the University of Richmond Summer Internship Program.

PLACEMENT AREAS: Our agency in London has been placing students in internships in major political, financial, communications, nonprofit, cultural and historic institutions for many years. In addition to the following major areas, placements are available in virtually all major fields.

JUST ASK !

POLITICS: Interns in this field work as research and administrative assistants in a variety of organizations, including the House of Commons, European Parliament and Westminster City Council.

BUSINESS: London is one of the worldÕs most important business centers, home to many of the worldÕs most influential companies. Placements are available in many business fields in a variety of British and multinational firms such as LloydÕs of London, Deloitte and Touche, Merrill Lynch, and Barclays Bank.

THEATRE: London is the center of a dramatic tradition that

goes back to Shakespeare and continues today. LondonÕs fringe theaters (comparable to Off-Broadway theaters in the U.S.) - offer students the opportunity to participate in all aspects of a theaterÕs operation. Past placements include Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.

SOCIAL SERVICES: Interns in this field can gain experience in agencies that work on issues such as mental health, gerontology, disability issues, public policy and womenÕs issues.

ACADEMIC CREDIT: Students who wish to earn

University of Richmond credit need to make arrangements with a University of Richmond faculty member who will evaluate the academic component of the internship experience. The credit may be in the form of an Internship or Independent Study, depending on the arrangement made between the student and the faculty member. All participants are required to write an analytic journal documenting their experience. Additional work, developed with the cooperating faculty member, will be formalized in a learning contract. The Office of International Education will have a list of faculty who have agreed to participate in this program.

ORIENTATION AND LIVING IN LONDON:

The first few days of the program are devoted to orientation.

Familiarization, cultural, and social activities are held to acquaint students with each other and with London. All relevant aspects of the program are covered in detail during orientation meetings, with special emphasis on helping students settle quickly into housing and internships.

HOUSING: Students will live with other students in prearranged apartments. Students will be responsible for refundable deposits, telephone rental and charges, and all meals. Apartments contain furnished kitchens and vary from 2 to 4 bedrooms. The apartments are all centrally located and are within a short walk of the tube stations.

trips organized during the program. Past trips have included Stonehenge, Bath, Oxford, and Windsor. Day trips include coach from London, accommodations at all destinations, locally-based guides and entrance fees.

SCOTTISH

Scotland Gaelic Civilization

HIG

May 10-31, 2003

The Gaelic Civilization course is an intensive educational program examining historical, cultural, archeological, and literary subjects related to Gaelic Scotland supplemented by visiting a wide selection of historical sites and museums. The three-week journey will have a particular geographical focus on Argyll, as it is not only the heartland of Gaelic civilization but the very cradle of the Scottish nation. There will also be opportunities to meet local experts and hear performers of Highland song and story.

The selection of sites visited will help to emphasize a range of time periods, social classes (from elite to ignoble), types of habitations, and phases of material culture. While the popular representation of the Scottish Highlands is as a desolated wilderness, our journey will demonstrate the widespread human settlement and the way in which humans made maximum use of the natural environment for their subsistence needs, for navigation and for defensive purposes.

COURSE WORK: The course will be offered for 3 credits, but is also available in non-credit form to the casual participant who prefers not to take exams or write papers.

Students will be expected to prepare themselves for the trip by doing assigned readings before the excursion. There will be an initial test in the first few days to determine how well students have prepared themselves; there will also be a final test to determine how well they have learned during on-site teaching.

Students will additionally be expected to choose a particular theme or issue for a term paper, and to make relevant observations and collect appropriate information during the trip. They can do this in groups, but must write individual papers. These will be due after they return to the US.

HLANDS

RESEARCH PROJECT THEMES: Students can choose from the following themes, or suggest their own. They should, as much as possible, make use of Highland literature to illustrate important points. s Compare and contrast the ways of life and material culture of the elite and non-noble segments of Highland society. s Compare and contrast the ways of life, social institutions and material culture of men and women in Highland society. s Examine the connections between religious authority and secular politics in Highland society. To what degree did religious institutions evolve from native culture, and to what degree were they imposed upon it? Etc. s Examine the relationship between Lowlands and Highlands: compare their cultures and ways of life, and determine when relations were antagonistic (and cultural patterns different) and when they were synergistic (and cultural patterns similar). Consider the ways in which each characterized the other. s Examine the continuities, discontinuities, and developments of Highland art and/or architecture, linking these to historical events and processes.

COST OF PROGRAM: $3,500** Cost includes: s Credit hours: Up to 3 s Gaelic Civilization Course s Accommodation ¥ Breakfasts ¥ All travel on trip

Cost does not include: ¥ Lunches or dinners ¥ Airfare ¥ Personal expenses (i.e. telephone, spending money) ¥ Coursepacket or textbook

**This amount is subject to change based on the value of the dollar and housing costs.

READING: The information for the trip can be organized in three different ways: thematic, chronological, and geographical.

A special website will provide students with these three different frameworks for the Òinformation space,Ó although the bulk of the text to be read will be provided in a special coursepack created for the course and two further textbooks.

REQUIREMENTS: Attendance at all orientation meetings during the spring 2003 semester is mandatory.

LODGING: Students will stay in Bed & Breakfasts around Edinburgh and the Highlands.

Spain Santiago de Compostela

Compostela

May 16 Ð June 28, 2003 (Six weeks)

Located in the autonomous community of Galicia, this city in northwestern Spain offers a mixture of old and new, with numerous sites of historic and cultural interest.

Present-day Compostela is still a popular pilgrimage site, as well as a major Òcollege town,Ó with 35,000 students living and studying at one of SpainÕs oldest and most prestigious universities.

To ensure our programs are as safe as possible, we constantly review advice on international travel from the U.S. State Department and other international organizations. All our summer programs have been reviewed with respect to health and safety, and both faculty and students will receive further advice and training prior to departure.

Further information about safety, and links to internet sites of interest, can be found on the University of Richmond website:

We believe that it is now more important than ever for our students, as future leaders of industry and government, to experience life outside the United States. Our programs are exciting, innovative and designed to offer students an opportunity to experience different cultures, languages and environments. If you need more information, please feel free to contact us directly at 804-289-8133.
