INTL 115 - Introduction to International Studies: World Travel

Travel, whether by diplomats, migrants, soldiers, scientists, traders, or tourists, is at the core of countless past and present societies, and connects closely to how we live, work and conceive ourselves in today’s interconnected world. Thus this course introduces students to international studies in two ways: by exploring a set of ideas and authors influential in the study of world travel and mobility in its many forms; and by investigating, through examples drawn from many actors, centuries, and locales, the countless motives for and consequences of world travel. Open to first- and second- year students. (4 Credits)
