The course, "Roots, Fruits & Jamaican Ecologies" (3-credits, 6-weeks, Summer Session I.), will be offered for 5th time in 2010 and is taught by a cultural anthropologist and forest ecologist.

See below for the course description:
ROOTS FRUITS & JAMAICAN ECOLOGIES:PERMACULTURE INITIATIVES IN THE BLUE & JOHN CROW MOUNTAINS (Summer I. 2010)
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This interdisciplinary service-learning course (3-credits, 6-weeks) is a partnership between IU, the Jamaica Conservation and Development Trust (JCDT), and the Bowden Pen Farmers' Association in eastern Jamaica. Permaculture is a systems-thinking design approach meant to create sustainable, productive, and ethical ways of living. Permaculture design systems mimic ecological patterns and relationships found in nature while providing edible, multi-functional landscapes, renewable energy sources, "green" housing and sustainable cultural practices. Class sessions at IUB provide students with an understanding of: 1) basic permaculture design principles; 2) cultural practices in rural Jamaican communities; 3) ecological characteristics of mountainous regions in the Caribbean; and 4) the ways in which humans (re)shape local environments through farming and other activities. In Jamaica students will participate in permaculture and service-learning initiatives associated with park management, sustainable agriculture, cultural heritage, and ecotourism projects. The seminars given in Jamaica with conservationists, park rangers, farmers, community leaders, herbalists, spiritualists, poets, and musicians, place further emphasis on the ROOTS and the FRUITS of indigenous agricultural, environmental, and cultural practices.
FIELDSITES:
Blue & John Crow Mts. National Park and the rural farming community of Millbank in the Rio Grande Valley
COURSE DATES:
Summer Session I. 2010 (6-weeks). The course begins with 3 weeks of classes on the IUB campus (starting May 11), continues with 2 weeks in Jamaica (May 29-June 12), and ends with 1 final week of class after returning to campus.
APPLICATION DEADLINE:

This includes: 3 IU-credit hours, 41 meals, 14 nights lodging, ground transportation, speakers and performer fees, service fees, and (required) student travel insurance. The course costs do NOT include round-trip airfare.

IU at Oxford Call Out session January 22
IU at Oxford Information Session - Friday, Jan. 22 at 3:00 pm in BUS 209
Come learn about a “ludicrously good” summer program hosted by the School of Public and Environmental Affairs on Friday, January 22 from 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm in Kelley School of Business Room 209.
Participants will study governance and decision-making in public and private organizations at world renowned Oxford University’s Said Business School from July 2 – August 1, 2010. Because of the broad applicability of the course material, the program has been pre-approved for credit for all SPEA undergraduate majors and is always of interest to a variety of other majors, including students of business, political science, international studies, economics, history, English, religion, and more. . .
Course lectures will be led by Dr. Kenneth Richards, a Wharton Business School graduate who currently serves as an associate professor at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs and a senior visiting fellow at Oxford University’s Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment. Throughout the program, there will be numerous guest lectures and weekly tutorial sessions led by Oxford University faculty and graduate students.
Students will stay in a recently renovated 20-bedroom house owned by Exeter College. They will dine in college at Exeter once each week and will have a unique opportunity to sample a variety of world cuisines, including British, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Lebanese, Indian, and Italian fare.
Participants will enjoy course-related field trips to London (Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and the Churchill War Rooms); the West Country (Salisbury Cathedral, Stonehenge, and Bath); and Banbury (Plotting Sites for the English Civil War and the Washington ancestral home). They can also take advantage of optional Oxford field trips to the University’s colleges, the Ashmolean Museum, the Botanic Gardens, and more.
