Global Service Learning and the Politics of Help (Spring Break)
Accra, Ghana
Winter 2024

This program seeks to shift the discourse in a small way by offering students service-learning opportunities in Ghana that are deeply embedded in conversations on identity, power, privilege, access, race, gender, and global ethics. In partnership with two well-established NGOs in Accra, Ghana, this program offers field experience focused on public health, human rights, gender equity, and education. UW students will collaborate with local community members, gain experience in rural contexts, better understand process-oriented ways of change, and consider what social change looks like through different people's eyes. Alongside field experience, we will partner with local Ghanaian college students and enjoy excursions to different parts of the city and region. We will also hear from various people who work for social change in the Accra area, including a feminist blogger, photographer, writer, fiction editor, and chocolate scholar. Throughout the program, students will also be reflecting on the broader contexts of help and care, what it means to work in a community that is not yours, and the responsibilities of having more than many others, both abroad and at home.

Applications Due: November 1, 2023

History, Memory, and Human Rights in Central Europe
Prague (plus Vienna, Krakow, Budapest, and Berlin), Czech Republic
Spring 2024

The CHID Prague Program, which is one of the oldest study abroad programs at UW (since 1996), offers UW students a unique and specific study abroad opportunity not available elsewhere at UW. The CHID Prague Program is all about immersing yourself in Prague and the other great Central European cities – Vienna, Krakow, Budapest and Berlin, where we will go on 4- or 5-day trips each – in order to develop a complex understanding of the dynamic historical, cultural, and political life of Central Europe as a whole. The program itself is strongly anchored in the philosophy of CHID: it combines academically rigorous seminar-style courses, international field trips aimed at provoking personal reflection and exploration, and cultural events that transform our program into a living community. We focus on key issues that resonate well beyond Central Europe: the tragedy of the Holocaust, the nature and legacy of the communist systems, the hopes and tensions of the European Union, the impact of the current refugee crisis, and how coming to terms with the past is reflected in the cultural scene we witness today. Through this immersion, we hope that students in the program not only critically explore the intersections of rich and complex Central European history, society, and politics, but also, in the process, become themselves transformed by the places, people, and ideas they encounter.

Applications Due: November 15, 2023

Mad Kings and Monuments: Identity, Human Rights, and Reckoning in Germany

Munich, Germany
Summer 2024 A-term
Co-sponsored by JSIS

With a focus on Munich, the Bavarian region of Germany, and Berlin, this program  offers place-based historical exploration of social, political, racial, religious, and cultural dimensions of German nation-building before and after the Holocaust. Famous for its picturesque mountains and castles, Bavaria has also been a crucible for wrenching social change, and has fostered nationalist domestic policy and world-views ranging from “Mad” King Ludwig to the Third Reich.  Students will learn about the philosophy and practice of eugenics within the German historical context, while touring the actual sites where the policies originated and were put into practice.  The program will conclude with a week-long tour of Berlin, where local and national identity through memorials will be explored, contextualized, and compared to memorials dedicated to the victims of National Socialism in present-day Munich, Nürnberg, Berchtesgaden, and Dachau.

Building for Peace in the Wake of War

Ha Noi, Hue, Hoi An, Dong Ha, Viet Nam
Early Fall Start 2024

In Early Fall of 2024, CHID will once again sponsor a well-established study abroad program led by Christoph Giebel (UW, Int'l. Studies/History) to explore the legacy of war and ongoing rebuilding efforts in Viet Nam. More than 45 years after the end of the war, areas of central Viet Nam, where much of the fiercest fighting occurred, still must deal with the war’s after-effects. Environmental, community health, and socio-economic challenges stubbornly remain and defy quick solutions. Students will learn how wars—so easily started—will have grave impacts for generations even after their formal end.

Environmental Paris: The Modern Invention of Nature

Paris, France
Autumn 2024

This program offers students a chance to explore this modern “invention of nature” from three different perspectives—historical-scientific, urban sustainability-public health, and literary-artistic.  Each class will focus on a different segment of this trajectory, the late 18th/early 19th century, the later 19th century, and the early to mid-20th century.  All three classes will include exploration of Paris’s urban-natural landscapes, its gardens, its museums, and its architecture, as well as literary and visual representations of the shifting imagination of nature.

History, Memory, and Human Rights in Central Europe

Prague (+ Vienna, Krakow, Budapest, and Berlin), Czech Republic
Autumn 2024

The Prague Program offers students a unique study abroad experience not available elsewhere at UW. Prague has a magical flair like no other: a medieval cultural capital located in the heart of Europe, yet for decades seemingly locked away behind the Iron Curtain. Relatively spared from natural disasters and war, Prague boasts magnificent architecture preserved from its distant past, and is the home to world class theatres (think Mozart), labyrinthine cobble-stoned streets (think Kafka), and tucked-away bars, gardens and cafes where you can contemplate the meaning of it all.

Legacies of Empires: Power and Diversity in Berlin, Barcelona, Madrid, and Valencia

Berlin, Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Germany, Spain
Winter 2025

This program interrogates the ongoing legacies of colonialism and imperialism in Europe and the contemporary world. How are the frameworks we use to understand racialized, excluded, and marginalized people born from those legacies? In this program we will evaluate some of the methods individuals and groups use to generate and interpret knowledge about themselves and about others, analyzing the limits inherent in those systems. Working with Romani artist and activist Vicente Rodriguez Fernandez, we will explore these ideas through the lenses of cultural studies, literature, and political activism.
