Italian 243 - In Sicily

'This two-credit course centers on a ten-day trip to Sicily in mid-May 2014. Its goal is to offer students first-hand experience of the impressive physical evidence of the island's cosmopolitan and diverse heritage, including the influence of Greek, Roman, Arab, Norman, Spanish, and (northern) Italian cultures. In doing so, it aims to bring alive both Sicily's contributions to European culture and the challenges it continues to face. In preparation for daily presentations and discussions in Sicily, during the spring semester students will participate in a short seminar focused on assigned readings.'
