HN 250W - Honors Research and Travel *

(3)

HN 250 allows students participating in a Brenau travel experience to deepen their familiarity with the culture and history of their destination through a semester-long research course. The course may be taught as an independent study by a professor affiliated with the study abroad experience. Students will conduct focused research under the guidance of their professor and will identify issues of history, culture, race, class, or gender in their proposed destination. Students will produce a final project demonstrating the results of their research, write a series of reflective essays connecting the study abroad experience to their research, and present their findings to their professor and a member of the Honors Committee. This course is designated as a “W” course. W courses emphasize the experience and expertise of women throughout course design and delivery. Students will identify and analyze the contributions and experiences of women. More than 50% of course activities, readings, and assessments emphasize and explore female experience, perspective, or expertise.
