Ireland: Reading in the Enchanted West of Ireland
This program is a unique way to learn about the literature of Ireland first-hand!
Students will begin their experience by spending four days in Carraroe, a small village in the Gaeltect (or Irish speaking region of Ireland) where they will participate in a cultural immersion program that will include a range of activities designed to familiarize the students with Irish language, culture, and history. While in Carraroe, students will stay with Irish speaking families.

Multi-Country: Rhetorics of Remembering in Germany, Czech Republic, France, and Poland
Tour four of Europe’s most beautiful cities—Berlin, Krakow, Prague, and Paris—as you hone your writing abilities. This program’s essential question is How do cultures use public acts of remembering to construct their histories? To shape cultures? As we travel across Europe we’ll examine a wide variety of public acts of remembering including memoirs, museums, monuments, and historic sites. The majority of the sites we’ll encounter are connected to the Holocaust and World War II—events that had and continue to have global ramifications.
