The Art and Landscape of Greece

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This three-week intensive seminar is based in the village of Ancient Corinth, 50 miles southwest of Athens, and is designed as a fully immersive cultural, international, and intellectual experience for students. Immersion in contemporary Greek village culture, and in the heart of active archaeological digs, will provide students an opportunity both for deep engagement with ancient art and architecture and for reflection on their own adventures in another culture and setting. They will have experience with the Greek villagers and the village, as well as archaeological sites and museums, in ways denied to tourists. Led by a Notre Dame faculty member who has spent much of his professional and personal life in Greece— specifically in Ancient Corinth—this program will include trips to major sites and museums in southern and central Greece.
