Ha Noi, Hue, Hoi An, Dong Ha, Viet Nam
Fee reduced!
This program explores the legacy of war and ongoing rebuilding efforts in Viet Nam. In partnership with PeaceTrees Vietnam, a Seattle-based organization working on land mine clearance and environmental/community restoration in Quang Tri Province, our group of 12-18 students will pursue historical studies in Ha Noi and Hue and participate in a community-building project with local people in Dong Ha, near the former Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).
Professor Giebel has directed seven Comparative History of Ideas programs in Viet Nam, all of which have received uniformly excellent student evaluations.
Ability to speak Vietnamese is not required, and students from all areas of study are encouraged to apply.
