How do we travel in ways allowing us to better understand the places and the cultures we visit?
This course focuses on the intricate layers of spaces and cultures, monuments and people, encountered during traveling or studying abroad. Being aware of how and why we travel will allow us to encounter more sustainable ways of exploring the world beyond bucket lists, mass tourism, or even dark tourism. We will discuss how to meet people and places with curiosity and respect, open to the stories of others and with an awareness of our own biases and the the social and environmental footprints we leave behind.
