Submitted by Toni Kwong on January 23, 2019 - 3:51pm

Priority applications are due soon for the Honors Study Abroad program to Sweden, summer B-term. We welcome applications from across campus, students, do not need to be in Honors to apply. The 12-credit coursework includes 5 crVLPA, 5 cr. I&S, 2 crVLPA/I&S. 
This interdisciplinary program looks to Sweden as a global model on the question of rights. Students will examine Sweden’s innovative human rights policies especially around LGBTI rights and gender equality, and participate in dialogue around rights and advocacy at Stockholm Pride 2019. Students will also creatively engage with Swedish literature and explore authors, filmmakers, and Nobel laureates whose work has reached beyond the Nordic borders with global impact.
Students are welcome to contact me at kimkraft@uw.edu with any questions. Apply by Jan. 31 for priority consideration.
