Each semester, we take students and Chinese roommates on a hands-on learning excursion that explores an area outside of the city. Previous seminars in Beijing have included a week-long experience in Xi’an where you can experience both the ancient origin of the Silk Road and the center of the modern One Belt One Road initiative. The Kunming program heads to rural Yunnan—a previous excursion visited Dali, a Bai minority autonomous prefecture. Students explore temples, cook local dishes, and transcribe wall propaganda. Through site visits, lectures, and discussions with local residents, you examine a new place through a lens of political, economic, and historic globalization.
