Big Experiences Lead to Bold Futures
At Drew, all students graduate with at least two experiential learning opportunities on their transcripts. Guaranteed.
This nycTREC program fulfills the Gen Ed-Immersive Experience requirement.
Travel
Explore three cities that stand witness to apartheid and its aftermath: Johannesburg, home to Mandela and Tutu; Durban, rich with memories of the fight for freedom; and Cape Town, central to the work of reconciliation and truth. See how South Africa— and its diverse social and cultural groups—have been indelibly shaped by the hurtful past of apartheid and the hopeful power of reconciliation.
Rethink
Identity and Intergroup Conflict
How do social identities influence our relations with others? What are the social, psychological, and political drivers of group difference? Of intergroup conflict? How do these conflicts develop? How can conflicts be reduced and groups be reconciled?
Explore
Synthesize Academic and Experiential Learning
Visit sites central to resistance and reconciliation, from Soweto to Robben Island. Speak with survivors of apartheid, and hear from community groups seeking to repair the legacy of institutionalized racial segregation. Attend lectures, tour museums, and study South African history and social science literature. Produce new insights on intergroup conflict in a final research paper.
Connect
Apply psychological and social science to realworld issues, practicing transferable skills. This interdisciplinary, academically-rich program is especially relevant to students planning careers or graduate study in psychology, political science, sociology, and Africana studies.
