Senegal: Arts and Culture
Coursework
In keeping with the program's theme, the director seeks to provide students with an understanding of Senegalese art as a window for viewing the country's rich, varied and evolving culture. Over the course of the semester, students learn not only to appreciate various art forms and what they represent, but they learn to create and perform them as well. Students also examine the complex issues that face the Senegalese today, socially, economically and politically. Through the Arts and Culture seminar, taught mainly in French, and the Intensive French study allow students to deepen their knowledge of French, while also gaining unique insight into Senegal by learning Wolof. The Field Study Seminar focuses on culturally appropriate, ethical field methodology in preparation for the Independent Study Project (ISP).
The following syllabi are either from a recent session of this program or for an upcoming session. Because courses develop and change over time to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, actual course content will vary from term to term.
The syllabi can be useful for students, faculty, and study abroad offices in assessing credit transfer. Read more about credit transfer.
