Summer 2019-Study Abroad- Bulgaria
Faculty-led Short-term Study Abroad in Bulgaria: Bodies, Space, and Being: Culture, Language and Wellness in Modernizing Bulgaria
Join us July 6-20, 2019 to learn ethnographic and linguistic methods while immersed in Bulgarian languages and cultures. Bulgaria is a country that is undergoing tremendous cultural and political change as a former Soviet Bloc state and as one of the newer member states of the European Union. We will explore how these shifts continue to impact bodies, space, and being, focusing on conceptualizations of language, identity, food, and consumption as part of larger issues of wellness. We will spend 10 nights in the village of Stolat in the Balkans, and travel and overnight in other locations around the country, including the capital city of Sofia. You will also spend time with seniors at the Elder Center of Stolat.
