Program | JR–SRJunior - Senior | 16 | 16 | Day | F 12 Fall | W 13Winter | In the 19th century, well-known European scientists such as Darwin, d'Orbigny and Bonpland traveled in Argentina and brought their knowledge of the flora and fauna back to Europe. The marine, desert and alpine environments of the Southern Cone harbor flora and fauna very different from similar environments in North America. In this two-quarter program, we carry out intensive natural history studies of the unique organisms and ecosystems of Argentina, focusing on those of Patagonia.After an introductory week in Olympia at the start of fall quarter, the study abroad portion of the program will commence with a 4-week intensive study of Spanish language in Buenos Aires to prepare us for our travels and studies in Argentina during fall and winter quarters. We will begin to study the flora and fauna of the Southern Cone through preliminary readings, lectures and class work in Buenos Aires. We will take a short trip to the sub-tropical province of Misiones during October, then move to the coastal and mountain regions of Patagonia in November. We will study the natural history of Patagonia, beginning with field studies on the Atlantic coast and then moving to the Andean Lakes District, taking advantage of the progressively warmer weather of the austral spring.Students will conduct formal field exercises and keep field notebooks detailing their work and observations. We will read primary literature articles related to the biodiversity of Argentina and augment our field studies with seminars.During winter quarter (summer in the southern hemisphere), students will reinforce their language skills with two weeks of intensive Spanish studies in Patagonia, examine montane and steppe habitats, then work in small groups on focused projects examining biodiversity topics. It will be possible to conduct more focused studies on specific ecosystems or organisms, including those in more southern parts of Patagonia, at this time of the year. Clear project goals, reading lists, timelines, etc., will be developed during fall quarter in order to insure successful projects in winter quarter. Examples of individual/small-group projects include: comparisons of plant/animal biodiversity between coastal, desert and alpine zones; comparative studies of the impacts of ecotourism activities on biodiversity; or examining community composition of intertidal habitats along a gradient from north to south, among others. | Erik Thuesen | Junior JR Senior SR | Fall | Fall | ||||

Program | FR–SRFreshmen - Senior | 8, 12 | 08 12 | Evening | F 12 Fall | W 13Winter | S 13Spring | This year-long program will examine traditional Japanese culture, aesthetics, and classical architecture through a consideration of , the Way of Tea. As a part of their study, students will learn to participate in tea preparation and drinking and will construct a tea house. During spring quarter, as the culminating event of the program, students will hold , a tea gathering, in the tea house they have constructed. The Japanese tea ceremony was developed during the 15th century and consists simply of tea preparation and drinking in a minimalist setting composed especially for the purpose. And yet is much more than simple tea drinking. It is a ritual that embodies many of the most important aspects of Japanese philosophy and aesthetics and employs iconic representations of traditional Japanese art, literature, architecture, and craft. All students will participate in our core exploration of classical Japanese culture and aesthetics but will also be offered two options for more focused inquiry. Students may choose either an emphasis on Japanese language or an emphasis on traditional Japanese architecture and building practice. Separate CRNs are available for each of these emphases.

Program | FR–SRFreshmen - Senior | 16 | 16 | Day | F 12 Fall | W 13Winter | S 13Spring | Join us on an extraordinary virtual journey as we explore the diverse peoples, cultures and histories of the region that was once demarcated by the borders of the Russian and Soviet empires. We will take a multicultural approach in our examination of Russians and numerous other indigenous peoples who from ancient times have populated the vast expanses of Eurasian and Siberian steppe and forests.In fall quarter we investigate Slavic, Scandinavian, Persian, Mongol and Turkic contributions to early Russian society and examine both the region's pre-Christian pagan animistic cultures and the rich Byzantine cultural legacy of Orthodox Christianity with its associated art and architectural forms, literature and music. Our fall journey takes us from the vibrant culture of Kievan Rus', through the development of the Muscovite state, imperial expansion and westernization during the reigns of Peter the Great and Catherine the Great, and on to the start of the 19th century with Russia's emergence as a major world power. Medieval epics and chronicles as well as diverse films and readings enhance our study of this early turbulent history. Special geography workshops in both fall and winter terms help students identify fluently the location of cities and landmarks throughout the Russian and Soviet empires, as well as understand more profoundly the relationship between the various peoples of the empire and their environment.Winter quarter concentrates on some of the world's greatest literature from Russia's 19th-century Golden Age, all read in tandem with vibrant historical accounts of the era. Works by Pushkin, Lermontov, Gogol, Turgenev, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov and others enable us to explore Russia's provocative social, religious and revolutionary ideologies. We examine the rise of the Russian Empire's radical intelligentsia who rebelled against autocratic tsarist policies and the institution of serfdom, and also emphasize the diverse ways in which these activities led to the world-changing revolutions of the early 20th century.Spring quarter focuses on the tumultuous events of the 20th century, from the revolutions of 1905 and 1917 through the post-Soviet period. We investigate the legacy of Lenin and the Bolsheviks, including the horrific Stalin era with its purges, Gulag prison camps, brutal industrialization policies and devastating environmental practices. We place special emphasis on how writers, artists and filmmakers interpreted, influenced and survived the Soviet regime. Included in this emphasis is a detailed examination of the enormous sacrifices that the Soviet people experienced at the hands of their own communist dictatorship, as well as under Nazi occupation during the Second World War. This term ends with a review of events resulting in the collapse of the U.S.S.R. and the emergence of the fifteen independent states that arose from its ashes.Students will write short papers in fall and winter quarters and have the opportunity to explore in depth a topic of their choice for a final research paper in spring. They will also create professionally produced posters based on their research and participate in a series of term-end exhibits of their posters as a way to share their research with their faculty and peers. Those who opt not to participate in the Beginning Russian Language portion within our program will have the option of completing additional research and writing projects within their respective seminars for full credit. | education, diplomatic and security services, film, music, art, writing, international business, and graduate studies in international affairs and in Russian and Slavic literary, historical, political and area studies. | Patricia Krafcik Robert Smurr | Freshmen FR Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR | Fall | Fall Winter Spring | ||

Program | SO–SRSophomore - Senior | 16 | 16 | Day | F 12 Fall | W 13Winter | S 13Spring | Spain and Latin America share not only the Spanish language but also an intertwined history of complex cultural crossings. The cultures of both arose from dynamic and sometimes violent encounters, and continue to be shaped by uneven power relationships as well as vibrant forms of resistance. In this program, students will engage in an intensive study of the Spanish language and explore the literature remembered, imagined and recorded by Spaniards and Latin Americans in historical context. Every week will include seminars on readings in English, Spanish language classes, a lecture or workshop conducted in Spanish, and a Spanish-language film. There will be regular written seminar responses, synthesis essays and a winter quarter research project. Please note that Spanish language classes are integrated into the program, so students do not have to register for them separately. We welcome students with any level of Spanish, from true beginner to advanced. No previous study of Spanish is required to enter in fall. Fall quarter, we will explore cultural crossings in Spain and Latin America prior to the 20th century through literary and historical texts. In medieval Spain, Jews, Christians and Muslims once lived side-by-side during a period of relative religious tolerance and cultural flourishing known as the . Military campaigns and the notorious tribunals of the Spanish Inquisition eventually suppressed Jewish and Muslim communities, but their cultural legacies have persisted. In the late 15th century, Spain began a process of imperial expansion marked by violence against indigenous peoples and Africans forced into slave labor; these early clashes are strikingly documented in contemporary accounts. Subsequent colonial institutions, including imposed governmental structures, , religious missions and slavery were contested by diverse resistance movements. These dynamics culminated in Latin America's independence in the 19th century and they continue to be reexamined and reimagined within Latin American cultural production today. Winter quarter, we will turn to literature from the 20th and 21st centuries. During this time, Spain and several countries of Latin America experienced oppressive dictatorships as well as the resulting emergence of social movements that enabled democratization. The questions of language, regional identity and difference have also defined several nations' experiences, from Catalonia and the Basque region in Spain, to various indigenous communities throughout Latin America. More recently, the context of economic globalization has given rise to unprecedented levels of international migration, with flows from Latin America to Spain and the US. All of these cultural crossings have involved challenges and conflict as well as rich and vibrant exchanges expressed in literature, art and cinema.Spring quarter offers two options for study abroad, and an option for doing internships with local Latino organizations for those who stay on campus. The Santo Tomás, Nicaragua program is coordinated with the Thurston-Santo Tomás Sister County Association and its counterpart in Nicaragua, and is open to 4-8 intermediate/advanced language students; the Quito, Ecuador program is co-coordinated with CIMAS, an Ecuadorian non-profit research organization, and is open to 15 or more students of all language levels. For students staying in Olympia, the program will have two components: an on-campus core of Spanish classes and seminars focused on Latino/a communities in the US; and the opportunity for student-originated studies through internships and project work. All classes during spring quarter, whether in Olympia or abroad, will be conducted entirely in Spanish. | Diego de Acosta David Phillips Amaia Martiartu Alice Nelson | Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR | Fall | Fall Winter Spring | |||

SOS | FR–SRFreshmen - Senior | 2, 4 | 02 04 | Day | F 12 Fall | This SOS will allow students having completed an Intermediate or second year French course to continue to build their fluency at a High Intermediate or Advanced level. The SOS participants will determine a time and place for their weekly meetings for conversation, discussion of texts and films, and peer editing of writings in French. They will meet with their professor once weekly as a group to present their week's work, and to discuss problems in French which have arisen. Each participant is also expected to develop a personal plan for fluency in consultation with their professor, considering grammatical weaknesses and other problem areas in their French skills which they contract to address through individual work over the quarter. This SOS exists as a forum in which students can build oral fluency through discussion and conversation, and an increased vocabulary as well as compositional skill, through keeping a journal in French throughout the quarter. | Marianne Bailey | Freshmen FR Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR | Fall | Fall |
