This re-entry seminar encourages returning ISP seniors to reflect on their experiences abroad. It explores a number of cross-cultural issues in light of the seminar's collective experience. Cultural relativism and the challenges of cross-cultural ethical judgement, the construction of personal and national identities, the understanding and portrayal of people from cultures other than one's own, the promises and problems of globalization are some of the issues considered. Each student in the seminar completes a final project that brings together an experiential and an academic component.
Pre Req: HONORS 251 and 252 International Scholars Program Students Only
