MERR 183 Focus on Africa

Emphasizes collaboration, cross-cultural learning, and communication while providing an overview of critical public and private sector systems in Kenya and their response to change over time. Students stay in Nairobi for five weeks at our host institution, The Co-operative University of Kenya, when not traveling to Kenya's majestic sites of cultural and historical importance. Students work with Kenyan peer mentors on collaborative projects and use documentary approaches to reflect on and communicate their observations for audiences in the U.S. and Kenya.
