  • An Exploration of the Cultural Adaptation Process During an International Experience in France
    Journal of International Agricultural and Extension Education Volume 23, Issue 3 doi: 10.5191/jiaee.2016.23304 An Exploration of the Cultural Adaptation Process during an International Experience in France Nathan W Conner University of Nebraska-Lincoln T. Grady Roberts University of Florida James Sterns Oregon State University Abstract The purpose of this study was to explore how a group of students experienced cultural adaptation during a short-term study abroad program in Paris, France. The intrinsic case study was used and data collection methods included pre-experience questions, reflective journaling, post-experience questions, and participant observation. The grounded theory analysis method was used to identify the following eight stages of cultural adaptation: a) Initial Feelings, b) Cultural Uncertainty, c) Cultural Barriers, d) Cultural Negativity, e) Group Dynamics, f) Academic and Career Growth, g) Feelings throughout the Program, and h) Cultural Growth. Findings indicated that participants experienced cultural adaptation in a non-linear fashion and study abroad facilitators should incorporate and encourage cultural learning. Keywords: Study Abroad, Cultural Adaptation, Experiential Learning, Globalization 58 Journal of International Agricultural and Extension Education Volume 23, Issue 3 Introduction suggested that study abroad facilitators To better prepare students to operate assist students in understanding culture. within a global society, calls have been Purposefully designed and implemented made for the globalization of higher learning activities prior, during, and after the education (Longview Foundation, 2008; study abroad experience will allow students National Research Council, 2009; Pickert, to reflect over their experience, connect 1992).

Jiménez Adviser: Professor Katherine Manthorne This dissertation brings together a group of artists not previously studied collectively, within the broader context of both Colombian and Latin American artists in Paris. Taking into account their conditions of travel, as well as the precarious political and economic situation of Colombia at the turn of the twentieth century, this investigation exposes the ways in which government, politics and religion influenced the stylistic and thematic choices made by these artists abroad.

  • The Life and Times of Antoine Chrysostome Quatremère De Quincy (1755–1849)
    Classics at the Dawn of the Museum Era: The Life and Times of Antoine Chrysostome Quatremère De Quincy (1755–1849) LOUIS A. RUPRECHT, JR. It is therefore difficult, if not impossible, for someone not resident in Rome to write anything substantial about ancient art or obscure antiquities; even a few years in Rome is insufficient, as I myself have learned despite laborious preparation. It is not surprising when some- one says that he can find no unknown inscriptions in Italy: . one must know how to seek them out, and a traveler will find them only with difficulty. —Winckelmann, History of the Art of Antiquity, Preface Such was the effect, such was the fate of antiquity in the period I describe, when I visited Rome for the first time. Everything about this magical city contributed to entice my passion for antiquity and to enhance the beautiful illusions that enable us to recover the past and give it reality in the present, this radiance with which the imag- ination supplies the centuries that are long past. Such was the effect, almost a kind of magic, produced by Winck- elmann’s genius as well as by the spectacle of Roman antiquity. But this effect, it must be said, could only be produced in Rome, and by Rome. In vain do we convince ourselves that the antiquities taken from that city today can preserve their virtue. Everywhere else they are sterile, since everywhere else they lack the power deriving from their place; everywhere else they are disenchanted. They become images for which there is no mirror.
