 rom late June to early August, 214 Duke students attended the ultimate summer school: a six- week, educational sojourn in one of a dozen foreign countries, under Duke's Study Abroad
program. Led by Duke professors and local faculty members, students chose biogeology and
environmental history in Sydney, Australia; an achaeological dig in Galilee, Israel; drama or media studies in London, England--or British literature, history, and politics at Oxford; or a seven-week course in St. Petersburg on the language and culture of Russia. Study Abroad even helped one student arrange an independent study project in Morocco.
Here the ambiance of Europe is captured by Chris Hildreth, director of University Photography at Duke, who put France and Italy on his itinerary after completing a project in Madagascar. Explore "Aspects of Contemporary French Culture" in Paris, "History of the City" in Rome, and "History of Renaissance Italy" in Florence and Tuscany. But for the viewer, none of this will be on the final. |
