Cuba—Narratives of Resistance JULY 31 – AUGUST 28, 2016

RAQUEL SCHERR* ([email protected])Comparative Literature 165S, 198 Cuba—Havana

Since the Spanish conquest, Cuba has been a major site of resistance—first against Spain, and later against the United States. On our journey to Havana, Cuba, we will examine various narratives of resistance with regards to slavery, rebellion, and revolution as they have been articulated across different media platforms. We will immerse ourselves in Cuban culture by reading Cuban literature, listening to Afro-Cuban music, watching Cuban films, and visiting locations and institutions that shed light on Cuba’s political and cultural history of resistance. We will also examine how U.S. thinkers and writers have used Cuba and its revolutions as a model of resistance against racism and oppression.*Recipient, Academic Federation Award for Excellence in Teaching

ANA PELUFFO ([email protected]), PABLO ORTIZ ([email protected])Spanish 175, 198 (Taught in English) Argentina—Buenos Aires

In this program, we will study how Buenos Aires has been imagined and represented by contemporary writers, filmmakers, visual artists, musicians, and photographers. Moving freely in and out of the classroom setting, we will encounter firsthand the city’s many cultural offerings: eclectic architecture, film and music festivals, theaters, and world famous street art. The close study of the city’s vibrant and cosmopolitan culture will allow for a deeper understanding of Argentina’s complex history and its relationship to other Latin American countries.

Travelers in GreeceJUNE 28 – JULY 26, 2016

ALIKI DRAGONA* ([email protected])English 139, 198 Greece—Athens, Nafplion, Hydra, Poros

When the god of sea and the goddess of wisdom competed for patronage of the great city, Poseidon, striking his trident to the ground, offered water. Athena planted an olive tree becoming the patron deity of Athens, the starting point of our program. Through several field trips to UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the program will take students from Athens to the oracle of Delphi and the monasteries of Meteora and Mystras to the olive groves of the Pelopon-nese and the kingdom of the Myceneans. Crossing the Aegean Sea, our class will conclude in the islands of Hydra and Poros. Traveling the same lands with the American and Greek writers (in translation) the class will be reading, students will examine the intersections of a rich past and a complex present in a land where the gods still speak.*Recipient, Academic Federation Award for Excellence in Teaching

Taiwan Through Literature and Film JUNE 30 – JULY 28, 2016

MICHELLE YEH ([email protected])Chinese 109G, 198 (Taught in English) Taiwan—Taipei

Taiwan has produced some of the greatest Chinese literature and film in modern times, such as works by internationally renowned directors Hou Hsiao-hsien, Edward Yang, and Ang Lee. Taiwan is also a land of dramatic contrasts: a thriving IT industry existing side-by-side with the ancient arts of calligraphy and tea ceremony; “101”—the second tallest skyscraper in the world—side-by-side with Buddhist temples and Daoist shrines; a bustling urban culture and breathtaking natural beauty. While the program offers a unique opportunity to study Taiwan through a wide range of literature, film, and art, it also integrates readings, film screenings, conversations with leading poets and fiction writers, as well as private lessons in calligraphy and tea ceremony. In addition, by taking field trips to the National Palace Museum (which houses the best collection of Chinese art in the world), historical towns showcasing different ethnic cultures, and special cultural events, we will learn about the richness and diversity of Taiwan.

ERIC SCHROEDER* ([email protected])English 139, 198 or African American & African Studies 157, 198 South Africa—Cape Town, Johannesburg, Edeni Reserve

This program introduces students to the literature, history, cinema, and ecology of South Africa. We will study the phases of the country’s past: its pre-European history, colonial settle-ment, the apartheid and post-apartheid eras, reading books by Nobel prize winners Nadine Gordimer, J. M. Coetzee, and Nelson Mandela. While in Cape Town we will visit museums, places of historical interest, and botanical parks and nature reserves. Next we spend one day in Johannesburg where we visit the Apartheid Museum. The last week takes place at Edeni Bush Lodge, a private game reserve bordering Kruger National Park, where we will observe plants, birds, and mammals in their natural habitats, including many species of antelope, giraffes, cheetahs, zebras, and South Africa’s Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros, and buffalo. A great program for students who love adventure.*Recipient, Academic Federation Awards: Excellence in Teaching and James H. Meyer Distinguished Achievement

Honors—The Birth of Modern Europe in FlorenceJUNE 25 – JULY 23, 2016

BRENDA SCHILDGEN ([email protected])Comparative Literature 2 (Honors), 180S Italy—Florence

The explosion in economics, arts, science, poetry, and politics that occurred in Florence during the Italian Renaissance was unprecedented in the history of Europe. This program will focus on major Renaissance and Florentine figures who emerged from the economic growth and political turmoil that accompanied this cultural transformation. We will examine four major Florentine writers: Dante, poet; Machiavelli, a political theorist; Michelangelo, artist and poet; and Galileo, astronomer. We will make full use of Florence’s art, architecture, and museums and will also explore some other cities around Florence. Note: Enrollment restricted January 6–February 2 to students in the University Honors Program, UC Davis. On February 3, open to all students meeting Summer Abroad requirements, space permitting.

This program will introduce students to that Celtic strain—in literature, culture, language, music, and politics—that characterizes three different countries. By visiting and living in all three countries—Ireland, France, Spain—over a four-week period, students will get an opportunity to see, up-close and personal, some of the most stunning landscapes in Europe and to meet some of the most interesting people around: people who love to celebrate their unique Celtic heritage in an assembly of words and music.

Oxford—Portal to Fantasy JUNE 25 – JULY 23, 2016

AMY CLARKE* ([email protected])English 163S, 198 United Kingdom—Oxford

Ever since Alice fell down the rabbit-hole on the grounds of Christ Church College, Oxford has been at the center of modern fantasy literature. Oxford was home not only to Lewis Carroll, but also to C. S. Lewis, Kenneth Grahame, J. R. R. Tolkien, Diana Wynne Jones, and Philip Pullman. Even J. K. Rowling is rolled up in the Oxford mythos, since the Potter films use many Oxford locations. We will read novels from each author, considering how the “City of Dreaming Spires” has shaped their work and question how these fantasies themselves have shaped the modern imagination and why they have become so central to our times. We will also visit the world of fandom, taking in Harry Potter tourism, visiting webworlds, and even trekking through landscape that inspired Narnia and the Shire.*Recipient, Academic Federation Award for Excellence in Teaching

The Grand TourJUNE 25 – JULY 23, 2016

VICTOR SQUITIERI ([email protected])Humanities 180, 198 United Kingdom, France, Italy

This program introduces students to the Grand Tour—a voyage through France and Italy undertaken by young Englishmen, and eventually women, of the 17th and 18th centuries. The Grand Tour was designed to broaden the horizons of elite British youth by introducing them to continental languages and diplomacy, art and architecture, nature, culture, and geography—it was, in short, the culmination of an aristocratic education. We start in London and, following in the footsteps of the young men and women of a bygone era, we will make stops in Paris, Chamonix-Mont Blanc, and Rome. At each stage of our journey, we will retrace the literary, cultural, and artistic itinerary of the young people who took the Grand Tour centuries ago to learn more about the wide, wild world and their own privileged place within it.

Americans in Paris JUNE 19 – JULY 16, 2016

RAQUEL SCHERR* ([email protected])Comparative Literature 180S, 198 France—Paris

Thomas Jefferson wrote that, “[A] walk about Paris will provide lessons in history, beauty, and in the point of Life.” We will explore the city that mesmerized both Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, who were the first Americans in Paris. We will examine why writers, from Jefferson to James Baldwin, wrote about Paris; why jazz musicians Sidney Bêchet and Cole Porter composed music in Paris; why Josephine Baker danced in Paris and became—along with Schiaparelli and Coco Chanel—a fashion icon; and why filmmakers such as Sophia Coppola and Woody Allen have featured Paris in their films. We will learn to read the city and report on its culture from the vantage point of young 21st-century Americans in Paris, and ask whether, still, as F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote, “[the] best of America drifts to Paris,” and “The American in Paris is the best American.”*Recipient, Academic Federation Award for Excellence in Teaching

Peru—History of the Andean RegionJUNE 18 – JULY 17, 2016

JORDAN LAUHON ([email protected])History 162 or 103, 198 Peru—Cuzco

Based in Cuzco, Peru—perhaps the most storied city in South America—this program examines the history and culture of the Andean region from pre-Columbian times to the present. While our emphasis will be historical, the program will examine topics and themes from a variety of fields including geography, archeology, ethnomusicology, anthropology, literature, and environmental studies. Readings and lectures will be complemented by various trips, including a three-day trip to Machu Picchu and optional excursions to Lake Titicaca and the Amazon basin. Visits to Inca ruins, lectures by leading specialists, and discussion of contemporary Peru will increase students’ understanding of the region and its people. Optional Spanish and Quechua lessons will be available.

Three Cultures of Medieval Spain JUNE 13 – JULY 9, 2016

ROBERT BLAKE ([email protected])Spanish 142, 198 Spain—Salamanca, Sevilla, Granada, & More

The confluence of the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim peoples in Medieval Spain offers a prime example of multiculturalism in contrast to the rest of Europe of the day. This cultural synergism was fueled by the Arab s superior material culture when they invaded Spain in the 8th century and continued until their expulsion by the Catholic kings, Isabel and Ferdinand in 1492. The cultural exchanges among these three cultures during the medieval period were all pervasive, profoundly shaping the Spanish language, the urban geography, the architecture, the aesthetics, the literature, and the evolving Castilian identity. This program will introduce students to the legacy of this period illustrated by visits to Salamanca, Segovia, Toledo, Cordoba, Seville, Jerez, Cadiz, and Granada.

Berlin Culture After the WallJUNE 26 – JULY 23, 2016

GAIL FINNEY ([email protected])German 118E, 198 Germany—Berlin

Monumental history, complex political and financial growth all surrounded by an energetic cultural scene: welcome to Berlin! Since the fall of the Wall in 1989, Berlin has become a major center in Europe, attracting younger generations with its vibrant diversity of arts and entertainment. We will study a range of films, literature, and art to help understand the consequences of Germany’s forty-year division as well as the complex and fascinating changes brought about by unification. We will make numerous excursions to sites in Berlin—a living laboratory for the exploration of modern German history and culture—and will visit Dresden, the castle of Frederick the Great at Postdam, and the Sachsenhausen concentration camp.

Italian Culture and InstitutionsJUNE 19 – JULY 16, 2016

JAY GROSSI ([email protected])Italian 107S, 198 (Taught in English) Italy—Rome

Through lecture, discussion, and field trips, we will explore Italian civilization and culture. The emphasis will be on Italian culture, art, and history—especially the Roman contributions to these fields. Rome, the “Eternal City,” will be the classroom for study in this hands-on cultural and educational experience. The program includes four trips: the first week we visit the ancient Etruscan tombs (the Etruscans predate the Romans) in the picturesque medieval town of Tarquinia, north of Rome; the second week we go west to the ancient Roman port of Ostia Antica; the third week we head south to the ancient Monastery of Montecassino and the ruins of Pompeii, spending two nights in Sorrento on the majestic Amalfi coast; and we conclude in the east at the enchanting Renaissance Villa d’Este with its incredible waterworks.

Vienna—Crossroads of Central Europe AUGUST 1–31, 2016

KATHY STUART ([email protected])History 102S, 198 Austria—Vienna

Vienna, one of Europe’s most magnificent capitals, is our home base. We hike the Austrian Alps and take a boat trip along the Danube River through the stunningly beautiful Wachau winegrowing region, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Gateway to Eastern Europe, Vienna saw epic battles between Christians and Muslims, as Ottoman Turks advanced west. Mozart and Beethoven composed in Vienna, a musical capital home to more classical composers than any other city. Sigmund Freud and Gustav Klimt made Vienna the birthplace of “modernity” around 1900. For centuries a center of Jewish culture, Vienna saw the destruction of its flourishing Jewish community after Nazi annexation in 1938. We visit Austria’s most notorious concentration camp, Mauthausen. In the Cold War, Vienna, officially “neutral,” became a United Nations headquarter—and a hotbed of international espionage.

At the Crossroads of Gender and CommunicationJUNE 18 – JULY 16, 2016

NICHOLAS A. PALOMARES ([email protected])Communication 111, 198 United Kingdom—London

Gender and communication thrive at a dynamic crossroads. The program introduces students to the relationship between gender and communication in a locale—London—with a deep history and culture that is intellectually and experientially stimulating. Students will learn concepts related to gender and communication, immerse themselves in their surroundings by having experiences directly related to class material, and compare and contrast the U.S. and U.K. Example topics include gender roles in society; language differences; stereotypes; friendships and romantic relationships; leadership; glass ceiling; texting, Facebook, and computer-mediated communication; and gendered representations in the media. Students will visit the British Museum, National Gallery, Hampton Court, and Science Museum (most with tailored tours) and see how gender is portrayed in a movie and a play.

Sustainable Cities of Northern EuropeJULY 3 – AUGUST 1, 2016

JEFF LOUX* ([email protected])Landscape Architecture 191, Environmental Science & Policy 173 Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland

This program examines the features, systems, and designs for sustainable cities ranging from transit, bike and ped circulation to renewable energy systems to waste management, land use, and urban planning and design. Relying on lectures, field trips, bike tours, guest speakers, design and planning problems, and reading-the-city exercises, the program shows what lessons can be taken from Europe back to U.S. cities. We will visit 8-10 cities—large and small—in 4 countries that have demonstrated a commitment and success in becoming more sustainable; this includes looking in-depth at various deliberate eco-districts and neighborhoods like Vauban, Rieselfeld, Trekonner, Vestra Hamnen, Sjostad, and Hammarby in places like Stockholm, Copenhagen, Malmo, Freiburg, Lucerne, and elsewhere. The importance of strong urban planning principles and strong urban design approaches is studied throughout the summer.*Recipient of the James H. Meyer Distinguished Achievement Award

Sustainable Ecuador—From the Andes to the AmazonJULY 2–29, 2016

STEFANO VARESE ([email protected])Native American Studies 120, 198 Ecuador—Quito, Amazon Basin

This program examines the historical development and current situation of Ecuador’s indigenous peoples, with special emphasis on issues of environmental sustainability. Through lectures, seminar discussions, and fieldwork, the program underscores the impact that economic and political factors have on the process of indigenous cultural adaptation. Students will develop individual research/creative projects and will have the opportunity to interact with indigenous Andean and Amazonian people with whom they will share knowledge and the community lifestyle of different regions of Ecuador and the Amazonian tropical rain forest. The program will focus specially on the Huaorani people in the Yasuni reserve and their complex relation with the government and the private national and international community that are mostly interested in the oil, minerals, and natural resources located in their homeland.

MORADEWUN ADEJUNMOBI ([email protected])African American & African Studies 111, 198 Ghana—Accra

Ghana was the first country in Africa to achieve an end to colonial rule and a transition to a majority African government. It has also been a prominent theater for trying out solutions intended to end poverty and improve the quality of life of Africans. During our time together, we will examine how these solutions, usually described as ‘development,’ have been envisioned in a specific African country from the mid-20th to the early 21st century. You will be given the opportunity to review and evaluate the impact of varied institutions (government, nonprofits, international agencies) and activities (eco-tourism, mining, farming) in a country like Ghana. We will explore answers to major questions about development while also experiencing Ghana’s popular culture, markets, rainforests, and beaches. Many hands-on activities are planned, as well as visits to development projects and sites of historical or cultural significance in Accra, Kumasi, Cape Coast, Akosombo, and Obuasi, among others.

Look up from your tapas and watch the flow of people—neighbors, tourists, artists and peddlers—stroll down the Rambla. They disappear down the metro to resurface in some vibrant plaza or hillside neighborhood, climbing stairs to high-ceilinged apartments with views over this walkable metropolis. Barcelona, celebrated as a model for contemporary urbanism, architecture, and landscape, is also a city with strong community identities and a long history of activism. For four weeks we will explore the relationship between urbanism, design, and communities—examining Barcelona’s history, planning models, housing policies, and grass-roots activism. With the city as our classroom, learning happens through daily field trips, guest lectures, design projects, and conversations at sidewalk cafes, where we will learn, synthesize, and apply knowledge to actual public spaces of this Mediterranean city.

Fashion Marketing in ParisJULY 1–29, 2016

NAN TURNER ([email protected])Textiles & Clothing 173, 198 France—Paris

Paris is the fashion capital of the world. Time spent in this glorious city is a defining experience for anyone interested in fashion and marketing. This four-week program will cover the principles of marketing, with a fashion orientation. Course assignments will often require experiencing and observing fashion and marketing by visiting boutiques, museums, and department stores and partaking in several favorite Parisian pastimes—outdoor cafes, people watching, shopping, and sightseeing. Day trips to the Chateau de Versailles, and the Christian Dior Museum in Granville, Normandy will provide an opportunity to further explore life and culture in France.

World Cinema and the European Film FestivalJULY 19 – AUGUST 17, 2016

JAIMEY FISHER ([email protected])Film Studies 125, 198 France, Switzerland

While studying film festivals and their history, the highlight of our time will be attending the Locarno Film Festival, set in the lovely lake region of southern Switzerland/northern Italy (near Lake Como and Milan). Perched between Cannes (in the spring) and Venice (in the fall), Locarno is the most important festival of the summer. Students will have a full pass to the festival and much of the writing and learning in the program will concern the films at the festival. The class will consider the relationship between conventional national filmmaking and the transnational film festival as well as the relationship between Hollywood film and more independent/smaller scale productions around the world. We will examine a series of contemporary filmmakers whose reputations were established at film festivals, including Pedro Almodovar (Talk to Her), Michael Haneke (Funny Games), Wong Kar Wai (In the Mood for Love) and Lars von Trier (Dogville).

Spanish ArtJULY 3–30, 2016

CRISTINA MARTINEZ-CARAZO ([email protected])Spanish 143, 198 (Taught in English) Spain—Burgos, Santander

This program explores the multiple legacies of Spanish art from the Paleolithic cave art of Altamira in Santander, to the post-modern Guggenheim museum in Bilbao. The centuries-long Arab influence in Spain, along with the works of painters like El Greco, Velázquez, Picasso, and Dalí are a testimony to Spain’s multicultural profile. Flamenco dance and bullfighting owe their features to this plural past. We will experience Spanish art by visiting Burgos’ Romanesque monasteries and Gothic Cathedral. We will visit Salamanca, Madrid, Bilbao and Santander. During the last week of the program we will live in Santander, a city known for its beautiful beaches and prehistoric art. Living in Burgos, a quintessential Castilian city, and in Santander offers a rich perspective of the geographic and artistic diversity of Spain.

Brewing ScienceJULY 2–30, 2016

CHARLES BAMFORTH ([email protected])Food Science & Technology 3, 198 United Kingdom—Nottingham

The brewing of beer is not only humankind’s oldest biotechnology, it is likely the basis of static civilization and also a major factor in the survival of the species. Even if you think that is a tad exaggerated, there is absolutely no doubt that beer represents the most exquisite convergence of diverse sciences (botany, plant physiology, chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, chemical engineering and more) in pursuit of a product that is as complex as it is delightful. Beer has a proud history as a dietary imperative in many societies. This program considers the raw materials of brewing (primarily malt, hops, yeast and water) and how they are processed to produce drinks of consistent excellence. It explores the quality considerations of beer (foam, color, clarity, flavor, healthfulness) and investigates the nature of the global beer business. All this in the heart of England—one of the world’s historic leaders in beer and brewing.
