Our department is offering a study abroad program in Italy for Winter 2024: January 04, 2024 - January 31, 2024 (dates are tentative).
Explore 3 regions in southern Italy: Sorrento/Amalfi, Puglia, and Rome. Lead by expert, professional guides, students will hear the stories of the Roman Empire (Coliseum, Forum), Amalfi Coast and in the ancient seaside towns of Puglia, standing in the places where those stories unfolded more than a thousand years ago. Learn to cook and collect samples of dialect in all three locations to experience the connections among geography, cuisine, art, history, traditions, and dialects.
In CGSC/LING102 "Language, Mind, and Society," learn in the classroom, and observe on excursions how linguists and cognitive scientists connect the dots between how you think, the words you use, and the communities we build.
