Ancient and Modern Landscapes of Conflict and Peace
Bucknell in Northern Ireland '09 Grianan |
This is a short-term (3.5 weeks) study-abroad program for students interested in studying social conflict and peace-building. Students learn about the conflict in Northern Ireland ("the Troubles") by means of coursework and intensive cultural immersion.
The program is designed to maximize opportunities to interact and work with people in Derry/Londonderry ("L'Derry") via service-learning placements in voluntary sector (non-profit) organizations. Students gain an appreciation for the culture, history, geography, and politics of the country. |
