LAS 236-4 - Topic: Columbus revised (Bahamas) (1)

This course introduces students to major events, which have shaped Latin America and the Caribbean. The unique experience of studying in San Salvador, Bahamas, will allow us to make connections between past and present. Students will be able to learn the environment in the island and compare it with the landscape Columbus, the loyalists, and the current inhabitants of the San Salvador Island. Students will have the opportunity of study an interdisciplinary course abroad, re-thinking the Conquest and Colony of the Americas, from Columbus and the Spanish ruling, to the British slavery plantation times. Course readings, visits, films, lectures, and interaction with students from other courses and areas would enrich the uniqueness of our own course. Prerequisite: Sophomore standing. A non-refundable deposit of 10% of the course cost, or a minimum of $150 will be due on Monday, April 11th and must be paid using the online system. OCHOA-SHIVAPOUR
