Scholars in Peru
2018
The Scholars in Peru (IDH3931) study abroad course in Cusco, Peru focuses on community engagement and the preservation of cultural heritage. In partnership with the Archbishopric of Cusco and Peru's Ministry of Culture students help restore endangered adobe churches from the colonial era. The course also includes critical discussions of “voluntourism,” a weaving workshop, and on-site engagement with art and architecture. The course takes place in early May every two years, and is taught by Professors Regan Garner and Maya Stanfield-Mazzi.
