Winter Break: Study Abroad in Brazil
Extended Deadline: Oct 15

Salvador, Bahia is the locale for Race, History, & Health in Brazil. Instruction will be in English with opportunity to speak Portuguese. Brazil is known for leading the way in healthcare access, including life-saving HIV treatments. However its legacy of slavery, colonialism, and segregation, paired with stark socio-economic inequality, has disproportionately affected the health of Afro-Brazilian communities. Healthcare is further complicated by a sophisticated system of traditional medicine.

The city of Salvador is a critical location for the study of race, history, and health. Students will enjoy concerts, music classes, dance classes, and activities (capoeira, samba) hosted by various Afro-Brazilian groups. Readings and discussions will cover Afro-Brazilian history, public health policies, as well as the therapeutic dimension of Afro-Brazilian art such as music and capoeira. See here<https://global.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b7c44c7f49b2f0eb9abcf6740&id=ab85eeca6e&e=fdf33509f5> for more info. Program dates: Jan 3-15, 2023
