Program Spotlight: Dialogue of Civilizations Summer 2009

Open to Northeastern University students of any major, the Dialogue of Civilizations Program is a series of global student exchanges between students at Northeastern University and students around the world. The goal of each program is (a) to connect NU students with their peers in different national, cultural, political, and social environments and (b) to provide NU students with a global experience that builds upon and enhances their academic studies and training in Boston.

The dialogue in each country involves a series of meetings and discussions between students and local government leaders, community organizations, and their peers on various topics (politics, the arts, literature, popular culture, human rights, women and gender dynamics across cultures, etc.). The dialogue occurs within the context of two courses (8 CH), which have specific themes (language immersion, politics, economics, environmental studies, conflict negotiation, communication, etc.). These also involve lectures, site visits, and cultural events. Learn More...

Welcome

I have always said it is an honor to be an international educator at an institution that places experiential learning at the heart of its pedagogy. There has always been a deeply rooted appreciation for student learning out of the classroom at Northeastern University, which continues to raise the integration of practice and theory to a new art. It also means that we attract students who seek a more integrated academic experience that prepares individuals from all walks of life to be industry leaders, change agents, and knowledge creators, as well as engaged global citizens. Simply put, all of our students expect us to provide transformative experiences to connect real-world and classroom learning.

The Office of International Study Programs (OISP) is the University's center which provides credit-bearing, study abroad program options for Northeastern University students. These programs take place at partnered institutions and include semester, faculty-led, and summer options. OISP's primary goal is to continue to encourage members of the Northeastern University community to join us in our efforts to coordinate international program opportunities for all NU students and to help realize the institutional mission to educate students for a life of fulfillment and accomplishment through societal and global engagement.

You are invited to explore our new website and thank you for your interest and support.

Warmest Regards,

Dawn Anderson, Director
