About Program
Examine how cultural memory and collective identities shape present-day social movements and Mediterranean geopolitics. From your base in Seville and during a 10-day excursion to Morocco, you will engage with politicians, activists, NGOs, and grassroots organizations to understand the most pressing issues in the region. Explore Spain’s “politics of the streets” by learning from feminist, nationalist, anti-austerity, and environmental movements. Through site visits, lectures, excursions, and independent research, analyze how social movements drive cultural transformation and broad social change.
This program offers strong academic and cultural immersion with supportive staff and engaging excursions, including trips to Morocco and local sites.
