The Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies<\/a> is pleased to announce that it is offering\u00a0a\u00a0Spring 2016 trip to Cuba.<\/p>\n

“Experiencing Cuba: History, Culture and Politics”<\/a> will take place March 5-12. Registration is open at the BU Student Link. The trip will count as one credit.<\/p>\n

A joint offering by the Pardee School and the Boston University African American Studies Program, “Experiencing Cuba” will be led by Profs. Linda Heywood and Renata Keller<\/a>. It follows on last year’s successful Cuba trip<\/a> – the first organized by BU since the historic normalization of relations between the US and Cuba in December 2014.<\/p>\n

“This is a great time to explore Cuba, as the historical process of improving U.S.-Cuban relations is just getting underway,” Keller said. “Students will be able to witness the effects of the rapprochement first-hand, while also learning about many other aspects of Cuba’s history and its current place in the world.”<\/p>\n
