Summer 2023 Study Abroad: Peace and Conflict on the French-German Border

Dr. Hanna Kassab is leading a study abroad from May 30 to June 19, 2023. The “Peace & Conflict on the French-German Border” study abroad program in Strasbourg, France is designed for students pursuing degrees in Political Science, History, International and Global Studies as well as those studying French, German, and literature. Students will learn about and visit historical and modern locations that tie into Europe’s troubled past, as well as governmental institutions such as the European Parliament.

Students will earn 6 credits in 3 weeks while exploring Europe. We will study Europe as the Brexit continues to unfold, along with the ongoing refugee crisis caused by the Syrian War and economic woes in North Africa. The program will be enhanced by excursions and visits. Among the enrichment activities, the program plans to visit Heidelberg and the Heidelberg Castle in Germany; the quaint historic town of Colmar with its half-timbered houses, called “Little Venice” for its location on the beautiful Lauch River canals and the Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp. Such historical sites do not exist in the United States and cannot be replicated here.
