Study Abroad/Away Experience Reflecting on Study Tour of Civil Way Battle Sites (Spring 2011)
This presentation highlights the importance of a study away experience. The panel is composed of students who participated in a summer class that explored several Civil War battle sites on the 150th sesquicentennial of the Civil War’s outbreak. Taking the sites in order, the class studied such places as Harper’s Ferry, Bull Run, Antietam, Gettysburg, Monocacy, Petersburg, and Appomattox. Central to the class was an analysis of the political and technological implications of the war.
