Program Overview

Program Description:

This faculty-assisted field course enables participants to experience the vitality of contemporary India, its rapid economic development, its social pluralism and inequalities, and elements of its heritage and cultural traditions. Emphasis will be placed on debating current social and urban development issues, on the sensory dimensions of environments, on ceremonies and historic sites, and on documenting experiences through travel writing and photography.

Visiting India is a very powerful experience, filled with extraordinary sights, sounds, tastes and variety. Tremendous economic dynamism is combined with great social inequalities, religious and cultural pluralism, and mass poverty. Course participants will visit two of India's principal cities, several world famous historical sites, major religious sites of at least six world religions, a great variety of urban neighborhoods, and a couple of rural communities. Emphasis will be placed on the sensory experiences of visiting, observing and walking, and on documenting experiences through travel writing and photography.
