Virtual Study Abroad!

Berlin Summer 2021- Andrew Wood and Tabitha Hart from San Jose State University 

Spend Summer 2021 in Berlin

Rock star David Bowie called Berlin "the greatest cultural extravaganza that one could imagine." Now you can experience that extravaganza in a five-week, six-unit virtual study abroad program.  Our online course will have a dual focus. In the first part of the course, you will learn about the concept of cultural memory, and how it is playing out in society today. In the second part of our course, we will look ahead to Berlin's bright future in the realm of contemporary culture.   This program will be offered in a fully online mode, which means that we are not traveling to Europe in the summer. One positive result: a convenient and low-cost opportunity for you. 

Application Deadline March 22, 2021

Courses include:

COMM 193 (3 units) & COMM 195 (3 units) 

Cost: $1,700

Course Date: June 1 - July 2, 2021

This event is sponsored in part by an SJSU College of Humanities and Arts Artistic Excellence Programming Grant.

VIRTUAL READING of “The Story of Zahra” Presented by Uprising Theater in Chicago  Play written by Raeda Ghazaleh and Matthew Spangler; directed by Raeda Ghazaleh; based on the book by Hanan al-Shaykh.  

Date/Time: Thursday, March 4, 2021 4:00 PM - 6:15 PM  

The story of Zahara, set in the early years of the Lebanese civil war in Beirut, tells of a relationship between a young woman and a sniper operating on her street. The play explores Zahara’s attempts to not just survive the war, but make meaning in her life, despite the limited options available to her and their potentially tragic consequences. Produced at the Palestinian National Theater in East Jerusalem in 2020, this will be the first presentation of the play in North America.
