该项目的所有学生都将参加旅游精神FSEM和南希·巴伯教授的旅游写作课程.
FSEM: The Spirit of Travel
In this course, students will look at the relationship between travel and spirit; in other words, the relationship between outer journeys and inner ones. 朝觐一直是宗教和文化传统的一部分:从前往圣地的神圣之旅, Mecca, Bodh Gaya, Lourdes, 圣地亚哥德孔波斯特拉，到棒球名人堂等世俗圣地朝圣, the Vietnam War Memorial, or Graceland. Besides pilgrimages to one specific place, many travelers have more free-ranging objectives: for example, the Australian walkabout or the college-age rite of backpacking around Europe.
在这门课程中，学生将探讨为什么旅行是精神成长的催化剂. We focus on the ways in which travel, especially unpredictable travel outside one’s comfort zone, has an effect on the spirit. Since this class will take place in Dublin, students will focus on texts with an Irish perspective—novels, films, short stories and/or essays--as jumping-off points for thoughtful insights, discussions, and writings about the spiritual transformations of travel.
ENCW 111A:文学非虚构写作导论(专题:旅行写作)
In this course, students will focus on the art and craft of travel writing. 我们将分析典型的爱尔兰旅行写作，并试图模拟其魔力作为学生的手艺, critique, 并根据他们在全球门户计划期间的旅行撰写自己的论文. 本课程将包括四篇主要的创造性非虚构作品和许多日志条目.
The goals of this writing-enhanced course include the following:
- To strengthen existing writing skills
- To heighten understanding of travel-writing conventions
- 加强其他生活工具，包括批判性思维、公开演讲和阅读
- To increase information, literacy and research abilities
- To produce an archive of writing from the semester in Ireland
学生还将学习另外两门由爱尔兰海外十大娱乐彩票平台教授的4学分课程.
Students in this program will be accompanied by Professor Nancy Barber.
Nancy Barber, 沙利文英语讲师和全球门户项目的教务主任, majored in political science at Davidson College, 在斯泰森大学(Stetson University)获得英语硕士学位，在佛罗里达大学(University of Florida)获得诗歌写作硕士学位之前，他曾是一名记者. 巴伯在斯泰森大学(Stetson University)任教22年，专攻创意非虚构类课程. Her published articles include topics such as family business, human cannonballs, BBQ competitions, and bicycling across the U.S. In 2008, she co-wrote Meals Worth Stopping for in Florida.
Barber has taught an FSEM entitled The Spirit of Travel for over a decade. She taught Travel Writing in Stetson’s Innsbruck, Austria, Program in 2013 and in Stetson’s Freiburg, Germany, Program in 2010. She has extensive experience traveling and backpacking in Europe, including four different Caminos de Santiago hikes, the Tour de Mont Blanc, Hadrian’s Wall Path, and the European Peace Walk in Eastern Europe. Her summers are based in England when she’s not hiking, and she's looking forward to teaching and directing the program in Dublin.
