GST 3166 The Travel Essay
A long tradition of men and women traveling through Europe is the travel journal. These descriptive, reflective essays attempt to come to terms with the sights and cultures the traveler encounters, making sense of time, place and people and relating the home country to the new places. This course will have students read
some of the best travel writing about Italy and Greece and also teach the students how to enter into their own reflective, thoughtful writing about their travels and discoveries, both external and internal, on the Rome semester. Writing assignments will culminate in a polished, edited set of essays that can be brought together into a single work. Graded Pass/No Pass.
