JAN 170 - SMC Kilimanjaro: Crossing Tanzania

Upper Division

Using a Problem-Posing Documentary Studies approach, students will produce multimedia projects while they also perform development work in under-resourced communities of Tanzania. Students will cover five specific areas of study: 1) Documentary Studies, 2) Problem- Posing Pedagogy, 3) Multimedia Production, 4) Aid and Development, and 5) elementary Swahili language. We will participate in low-level construction projects as well as water and sanitation work in outlying areas. Along with the academic content of the course come other direct responsibilities, including daily chores to maintain our mobile development unit, team responsibilities, and health and nutrition work with our own group and with children in our host country. In addition to our development work, we will take a group excursion in the form of a three-day safari in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater.
