Notes

Two global cities of great history, among the very largest in Europe, home to populations of many origins. How do these cities function on a daily basis? How do their inhabitants build meaning in their lives? How do they connect with each other, turning space into place? Seen as typical of the technicized territories in which so much of humanity lives today, our two cities reflect the many challenges facing our societies.

Visits to sites in Paris are an integral part of the course as is a journey to Istanbul in the spring semester.

Learning Outcomes

Information Literacy: Students will comprehend how information is produced and valued in order to discover, evaluate, use, and create information and knowledge effectively and ethically. In FirstBridge, students will demonstrate the conversational nature of scholarship, and recognize their potential role and responsibilities as contributors to that conversation. For each discipline taught in FirstBridge, students will identify reference works, journals, databases and/or major works in history, in order to start effective research in the field (FB LO1)
Life at University: Students will acquire the study skills, time management, and interpersonal skills needed to meet the demands of university-level academic work at a Liberal Arts College individually or as a team. Students will value the multiple meanings of place through experiential learning at AUP and beyond in the Parisian or global context (FB LO2)
