Description | Join program directors Alka Kurian and Camille Walsh, professors in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences, to learn about the Spring Break 2024 Gender, Culture and Human Rights study abroad program to India. Using the lens of feminist and postcolonial perspectives on contemporary globalization, the course will examine the ways in which historically embedded and modern-day internal and global conflicts, and forces of colonialism, neo-liberalism, capitalism, and Western imperialism, have resulted in the denial of fundamental rights of some of the most vulnerable sections of the Indian society. The 5-credit program begins with bi-weekly Winter Quarter classes on the Bothell campus, followed by two weeks of site visits in Delhi and Mumbai in India. Online assignments and three debrief meetings at UW Bothell will take place during Spring Quarter. For priority consideration, apply by November 1, 2023. |
