GENL 179 HECUA: New Zealand Culture and the Environment

New Zealand Culture and the Environment: A Shared Future. Over the course of this semester-long program students get to know the people, places, and ideas that have driven developments such as truth and reconciliation processes between government and the indigenous Māori peoples, and sustainable environmental and governance reforms. Students spend the first months traveling by bus to key biodiversity and cultural sites, learning, cooking, and discussing together. The next three months are based in Wellington, where students attend class, complete an independent study project, and are placed in an internship with a local NGO.
