All of these have specific field labs of which counts for 20 percent of our grade and is a full day experience related to the course!
ANTH 23203 Anthropology of Religion
Time: 1540 - 1655 (A days)
Field Lab: In this field lab, we will visit a Zen Buddhist temple, Kencho-ji, in the town of Kamakura, one of the main centers of Zen practice in Japan since the 13th century. Kencho-ji is the headquarters of the Rinzai sect and Japan’s oldest Zen training monastery. We will receive a short introduction to Zen practice and participate in a session of zazen sitting and walking meditation for approximately three hours. After exploring the exquisite temple complex, we gather to discuss the experience over dinner in a traditional Japanese restaurant. This Field Lab experience gives you ample opportunity to relate your experiences to a variety of course topics.
EVSC 2050-5013 Introduction to Oceanography (Section 1)
Time: 0925 - 1040 (B days)
Field Lab: Earth’s primordial force oozes beneath your feet as we step lively over the lava from the world’s preeminent “hot spot.” This is where Hawaii is growing as molten rock rises to the surface and expands the island. Looking to the Northwest we see the volcanic history of this hot spot recorded in stone in the many islands of Hawaii reaching across the Pacific Ocean. After exploring the volcanoes we will cool off in the Pacific to search for marine life of the reefs.
ANTH 3590: Race, Class, and Gender
Time: 1415- 1530 (Bdays)
Feild Lab: When the South African government established itself in the 1990s, it put into place a strong gender equity program based on the concept of gender mainstreaming. Every bill that comes before the government is reviewed to assess its impact on gender. Participants will visit the Commission for Gender Equality situated at the House of Parliament in Cape Town. There we meet with officials who are engaged in this work to learn about what issues are seen as most important and what the government is doing to address them. After lunch, we have the opportunity to meet with faculty and/or students at University of Cape Town for a discussion about race, class and gender in South Africa. The field lab is designed to give students insights into South African history that shaped current race, class and gender constructs and about the intersectionality of race, class, and gender oppression as it affects various segments of the South African population in a variety of ways. This program emphasizes present efforts to identify and tackle the enormous problems that are the legacy of apartheid and neocolonial economic structures.
RELG 1559-1013 Religions of the World (Field Lab Morocco Day 1)
Time: 1250 - 1405 (A days)
Field Lab: We will visit sites associated with each of the three Abrahamic religions: The Hassan II Mosque, the Cathedrale Sacre-Coeur and the Museum of Morrocan Judaism. This will be an opportunity to study the architecture and worship space of these three faiths as well as the history of how they have interacted in Northern Africa.
