New Research-based
Study Abroad Program Launched for SDSU Faculty and Students
N. E. Hansen International Research
Expeditions
Concept
Led by two faculty members in different, yet
complementary disciplines, an N. E. Hansen International Research
Expedition involves undergraduate and graduate students in an organized,
faculty-designed and -developed research project abroad. The project
must be fieldwork-focused, with the students acting as research
collaborators, each with a discrete research assignment that benefits
the project overall. Students act, therefore, as research team members,
contributing to the successful outcome of the project by drawing upon
their own skills and abilities.
Purpose
An N. E. Hansen International Research Expedition
should inspire students, providing them with an opportunity to learn,
first-hand, the value of collaborative, interdisciplinary field
research, while at the same time allowing them to see and experience
another culture or cultures. more....
