Name of Institution: University of North Carolina

Name of First Year Seminar: AMST 89H: Navigating the World through American Eyes Professor Rachel Willis, History

Abstract of the First Year Seminar:

This seminar is designed to help prepare students for future study abroad opportunities, international work, and understanding the implications of national identity and action in a global environment. Using group projects, individual proposal writing, and collaborative field study within the campus and near-by community, we will explore a wide range of issues including access to work, health care, and education. Differences in religion, culture, gender roles, geography, and more will be considered as students intensely develop individual plans for foreign travel, study, and work using readings, class exercises, documentaries, and interviews. We will put a special focus on transportation systems and other forms of infrastructure that impact navigating places, people, and information.
