GALA 2008

The newly created Global Adventures in the Liberal Arts program offers study abroad experiences in more than one locale during the same semester. Fifteen to twenty students will study course material related to each locale and will be taught by a variety of Butler professors, one of whom stays with the group for the entire semester and two or three of whom travel to specific locations for one to three weeks to teach courses related to the locale. All of the courses will take advantage of the locations and include visits to relevant sites. The program could potentially include GALA-Europe, GALA-Asia, GALA-Latin America, or any other location in the world. In the spring of 2008 the first of the GALA programs will be mounted with a European slant. Students will study in England, Northern Ireland, France, and the Czech Republic with a resident faculty member from biology who studies genetics. Courses will also be given by a professor who specializes in peace studies, one who specializes in French history, and one who is a poet.
