This seminar examines women's health and cultural issues within India, with a focus on Tibetan refugees, and then applies the knowledge experientially. During interterm, the students travel to India and deliver workshops on reproductive health topics to young Tibetan women living at the Central University of Tibetan Studies in Sarnath where they are further educated in Tibetan medicine. The seminar is by permission of the instructor with interested students required to write an essay explaining their interest and how the seminar furthers their educational goals.
