Fall 2011 | 15 J OHNSTON Program Offers immersive experience Every two years, the Johnston Center for Integrative Studies and the Study Abroad Office offer Redlands students the opportunity to spend a semester in Oaxaca, Mexico, and Guatemala for an immersive educational experience that emphasizes Johnston’s signature attributes—student-directed study, cross- cultural learning, and community interaction. The next trip takes place in spring 2012 and is open to both Johnston students and undergraduates in the College of Arts and Sciences. “The program is an opportunity for students to take responsibility for their own education and to understand themselves in a global context,” says organizer Patricia Wasielewski, professor of sociology and women’s studies. The course draws students from a broad range of disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, race and ethnicity studies, government, and psychology. The group initially stays in Oaxaca, Mexico, for twelve weeks, during which time students attend PHO T O CO U R intensive language courses in Spanish or Zapotec and a class focusing on globalization, tourism and international development. Located in Southwestern Mexico, Oaxaca is a tourist mecca, drawing

millions of visitors annually to its artistic, cultural and archeological attractions, such as Monte Albán, P T ESY O F d har m a a a pre-Columbian civic and ceremonial center. The group then travels to Guatemala to complete their t Wasiele w s k i studies in a setting with fundamentally different historical, cultural and economic practices. Students also are responsible for a community service project during the trip. In 2006, students helped dig out a hospital that had been inundated by a mudslide. Upon their return, students create projects tt
