Trip Information:

• In preparation for the trip and while on site, participants commit to taking part in serious academic study, completing preparatory readings, actively and respectfully taking part in academic discussions and maintaining an open mind as we encounter controversial topics throughout the study program.
  • The history under examination is often controversial, requiring some sensitivity while discussing certain issues;
  • Participants commit to following the lead of the organizers in determining the appropriate place and time to discuss certain issues;
• Portions of the trip are moderately physically demanding; participants must be able to stand for several hours as we visit museums and walk for approximately three miles as we tour historic sites;
• At times, accommodations and food along the trip will be quite different than most Americans expect while traveling (for instance, we stay in a “cave hotel” in Yan’an similar to the caves used by the revolutionaries);
• Overall, an open mind, willingness to take on intellectually challenging material, flexibility and commitment to active, positive engagement in a group setting are the attributes that are sought in interested applicants.
