There will be a brief informational meeting on Wednesday, March 17 over lunch in the PDR from 12:30-1:00 for students interested in studying in Paris and Tunisia with Dr. Cathy West, who has lived both in France and in North Africa. The trip allows you to visit historical sites like the Louvre, the Orangerie (home of Monet's Water Lilies), the castle of Versailles, Ottoman Turk palaces, the ancient city of Carthage and certain sites of the Sahara (including the location where some of the Star Wars movies were filmed). You can receive French and Women's Studies (humanities) credit for your time abroad by taking a course entitled "Women of North Africa: Fact and Fiction," and you will be paired with Tunisian university students with similar interests, which gives you a much better understanding of the country you're visiting.
