Rihanna, grapefruit, and Britain's first slave society all have one thing in common - they originated in Barbados, the 13th smallest country in the world. With the removal of the English monarchy, the island became the world's newest republic. With this module, get ready to immerse yourself in an experience that goes far beyond the usual clichés of crystal-clear waters, sandy beaches, and delicious cuisine.

As someone who loves to learn and explore, you will have plenty of chances to engage with the local culture on a personal and intellectual level. Your time in Barbados will involve adopting and studying a project that is close to your heart, offering a unique Bajan perspective on topics such as global warming, education, healthcare, LGBTQ, music, and more. You will present your findings at the conclusion of the trip. You'll have the chance to visit schools in the area and donate books, enhancing your experience in Barbados even more.

Students will have class May 7-16 to discuss course assignments, expectations, and culture in Barbados. Exact details will be communicated to those enrolled sometime in February 2025.
