Course Catalog Description:: This seminar examines Americans (including ourselves) who travel abroad and what our experiences - both present and historical - tell us about how we imagine others and ourselves. How do travel experiences transform Americans and the countries and cultures that they interact with? This seminar posits that paying careful attention to the movements of Americans globally - as tourists, consumers, workers, educators, military personnel, performers and the like - will help us understand the more abstract elements of globalization, including the ever-stronger economic, political, cultural, and commercial integration of the United States with the rest of the world. This seminar explores how the real movement of people across borders relates to these forces.
