Last yearÕs Summer Study Abroad program was one of ourmost successful ever! Studying abroad is fast becoming anintegral part of the University of Richmond experience, sowe strongly recommend that you take advantage of one ofthis yearÕs programs. There are twenty challenging andexciting destinations to choose from, with topics of interestto all subject majors. New programs in Australia,Cambridge, Scotland and Spain are worth a special look.

We try to keep costs to a minimum, by not charging youcredit for summer abroad programs. That represents asaving of over $1,700 for a 6-credit course, and can put theoverall cost of a program in a different light. In addition, weset aside $30,000 a year to provide student bursaries, somake sure to check if you are eligible.

All our programs are designed to be academically rigorousand reflect the highest academic standards, but it is thesummer, so we try to build some fun into the program aswell. Most of our programs now include excursions, familystays or special events to introduce you to the language,people and culture of your host country.

BERLINQ

The revolution which separated the Greek people from theOttoman Empire began in 1821. Nine years later the warfor independence was won and Greece became a nation. Inso doing it was following in the quest for "liberty" whichhad already been successfully sought and gained inAmerica and in France. Enthusiasm for both the Frenchand this new country of ÒEllasÓ or "Greece" ran high in theyouthful United States of America as shared brothers andsisters in the benefits of the revolutionary ideas of westernRenaissance and Enlightenment thought. But few realized,and most of those who did know elected to forget, that theHellenes had never been a ÒwesternÓ culture, although theideas which had created the ÒWestÓ had experienced theirbirth among the Greeks in the remote time of Socrates andhis student Plato.

The Greeks themselves had taken a different path from theWest, their civilization and cultural ideas always orientingthemselves toward the East as part of the ancient Hellenicand Hellenistic world, and then successively the easternRoman, Byzantine, and Ottoman empires. If theyremembered anything about their pre-Ottoman past, it wasas Eastern Roman citizens of the Byzantine world.Constantinople, not Rome or Athens, was their revered city,as it remains to this day.

The intellectual leaders of this Ottoman-Byzantine society,however, realized that they must have help if they were tocarry out their Enlightenment induced dream of

independence, learned through study in foreign universitiesof the West, particularly Paris. And so they popularizedamong their own people, and took to the Western powersas a demand for support, a new idea that while true, hadlittle to do with the conscious thinking of those whom itwould free. These Western trained leaders claimed thatGreece was the quintessential Western country, for it wasthere that the ideas originated upon which the West wasfounded, spread to the west by the Hellenized Romans andthe Renaissance. As part of their plan, the link between thefifth century B.C. and the nineteenth century was shortenedso that it appeared that the almost fifteen hundred years ofGreek other-directedness was ostensibly swept away. Anda conscious program was designed to create a new Greeceor Ellas, which saw itself as the direct heir of the age ofPericles to which the West traced its origins and itscontinuity. It was a triumphant fiction, for it not onlyattracted foreign western powers to the side of the Greeksin their revolution but also created a national pride in thepeople themselves. But the triumph was to be costly for theGreeks in that the idea which brought their new countryinto being also caused a bifurcation of the Greek mentality.The Greeks came to think of themselves as the preeminentwesterners where Western Civilization had been createdwhile remaining in fact the product of eastern, andparticularly Byzantine-Ottoman thought. That bifurcationcontinues to haunt the Greeks today as Greece embraces

Thethree-week journey will have a particular geographical focuson Argyll, as it is not only the heartland of Gaelic civilizationbut the very cradle of the Scottish nation. There will also beopportunities to meet local experts and hear performers ofHighland song and story.

The selection of sites visited will help to emphasize a range oftime periods, social classes (from elite to ignoble), types ofhabitations, and phases of material culture. While the popularrepresentation of the Scottish Highlands is as a desolatedwilderness, our journey will demonstrate the widespreadhuman settlement and the way in which humans mademaximum use of the natural environment for their subsistenceneeds, for navigation and for defensive purposes.

COURSE WORK: The course will be offered for 3 credits, butis also available in non-credit form to the casual participant whoprefers not to take exams or write papers.

Students will be expected to prepare themselves for the trip bydoing assigned readings before the excursion.

Students will additionally be expected to choose a particulartheme or issue for a term paper, and to make relevantobservations and collect appropriate information during thetrip. They can do this in groups, but must write individualpapers. These will be due after they return to the US.

READING: The information for the trip can be organized inthree different ways: thematic, chronological, and geographical.A special website will provide students with these three differentframeworks for the Òinformation space,Ó although the bulk ofthe text to be read will be provided in a special coursepackcreated for the course and two further textbooks.

RESEARCH PROJECT THEMES: Students can choose fromthe following themes, or suggest their own. They should, asmuch as possible, make use of Highland literature to illustrateimportant points.

s Compare and contrast the ways of life and material culture ofthe elite and non-noble segments of Highland society.

s Compare and contrast the ways of life, social institutions andmaterial culture of men and women in Highland society.

s Examine the connections between religious authority andsecular politics in Highland society. To what degree didreligious institutions evolve from native culture, and to whatdegree were they imposed upon it? Etc.

s Examine the relationship between Lowlands and Highlands:compare their cultures and ways of life, and determine whenrelations were antagonistic (and cultural patterns different)and when they were synergistic (and cultural patternssimilar). Consider the ways in which each characterized theother.

s Examine the continuities, discontinuities, and developmentsof Highland art and/or architecture, linking these tohistorical events and processes.
