IAS 196 is a special offering designed for students who have returned from service learning experiences in domestic or international settings (preferably of at least three weeks duration and within the last 12 months). The focus of this course is to provide students a forum for reflection on their experiences with global poverty and practice, for processing reverse culture shock experiences upon returning to the classroom in Berkeley, and for values clarification on the meanings of ‘diversity' within the global and local communities. In the class we will address issues of power and privilege, social justice, what it means to be civically engaged at the local and global levels, and the tensions and differences between tourism vs. travel, and community service vs. engagement.
