Sixth in Provence
Phoebe Bronstein
Associate Teaching Professor, CAT
Summer Session I
Come join us in Provence and explore the French Riviera! Provence is a spectacular city with ancient roots in close proximity to many museums, lavender fields, and French wine country. This Global Seminar is the perfect opportunity to explore a region through food and narrative, reflecting on taste as sites where culture, immigration, family, globalization, and more meet. Provence is an incredible site to explore these questions with its local markets, Paul Cezanne's studio, food and drinks, and deep history as part of a border region. We will get to travel around the French Riviera and to Cannes, exploring museums, food cultures, and the site of the famous French film festival. The course will take us on eating and walking tours throughout the region, as we reflect and contextualize our experiences through the readings and screenings!

Sixth College Internships in Dublin
Joe Bigham
Lecturer, CAT
Summer Session I
This unique Global Seminar provides students with a comprehensive academic, professional, and cultural experience in one of Europe's most vibrant cities. Students will be placed into internships that complement their interests. While working as interns, students will take two remote courses that fulfill their upper-division general education requirements: CAT 124RS and CAT 125RS. These classes are designed to prepare students for academic and professional success in a globalized world and will cover topics such as intercultural communication, globalization, professionalism, identity, global citizenship, and sustainability. Outside of class, the city will be your textbook as you take advantage of all Dublin has to offer through excursions to historical sites, museums, and other local attractions. If you love to explore different cultures, are interested in global ideas and perspectives, or want professional experience abroad, then join us.
