Dear Poli Students,

Dr. Forestiere and Dr. Grodsky will each take approximately 10-12 students to Europe during the Second Summer Session in 2016. You will earn three POLI credits and have the opportunity to spend one month in either Italy or Poland. Dr. Forestiere will lead the Italy program, which will be based in Siena and concentrate on Italian Politics, where students will learn about Italy's many political parties, parliamentary politics, and the country's current struggles, such as the migrant crisis. At the same time, Dr. Grodsky will lead a program on transitioning states and nations in Poland, where students will examine themes such as genocide, nation-building and democratization. Both these programs will focus heavily on experiential learning, including numerous site visits.

If you are interested, please contact Dr. Forestiere (forestie@umbc.edu) or Dr. Grodsky (bgrodsky@umbc.edu) immediately. They will begin accepting applications at the end of this month.
