Dr. Naima Brown recently returned from leading a 青青草视频 Study Abroad tour to Sweden. The purpose of the tour was to explore cultural similarities and differences in Sweden and the U.S. Particular emphasis was placed on understanding values, beliefs, norms, and sanctions.
Students will present the sociological perspectives that they gained from the study abroad tour at 1 p.m. Monday, June 11 in P-260.
The study abroad group was hosted by faculty members at Tull盲ngsskolan, a technical college in 脰rebro, Sweden. In addition to visiting Tull盲ngsskolan, the SF group also visited 脰rebro University, the water tower of Svampen, the Wadk枚ping open-air museum, and 脰rebro Slott (castle).
The group also spent time in Stockholm and went on a behind-the-scenes tour with a member of Riksdag (Swedish Parliament), visited the Swedish Royal Palace, explored Gamla Stan (The Old Town), and went to the Vasa Museum to see the famous ship that sank on its maiden voyage. The 10-day program also included a stop on the small island of Fj盲derholmarna.
