STUDY ABROAD IN VIETNAM
Vietnam is an extraordinary country, filled with a remarkable history and culture, and a visual feast for the eyes. The summer Critical Studies on Food Systems and Sustainability program in Vietnam makes extensive use of the whole country as a site.
During this program, you will encounter and visit more of the country and its features than most travelers.
We will study at museums, historic and religious sites, markets, restaurants, and farms, ethnic minority villages, local academic institutions, as part of regular site visits.
You will learn sufficient Vietnamese to travel independently and to converse on food-related topics.
We will interview experts in the Vietnamese food industry, from growers to chefs, as well as experts on the crisis of rice production, food security, food hygiene, and food quality.
Three courses are available. They are:
- Paddy Rice Production in Vietnam (3 credits)
- Sustainable Farming in Vietnam, An Introduction to the VAC System (Gardens, Ponds, Domestic Livestock) (3 credits)
- Vietnamese Language for Food and Culture Business (up to 3 credits)
All site visits are in support of the courses and include encouragement to practice Vietnamese conversation.
