IrbidIrbid with its 500,000 inhabitants is the second-largest city in Jordan,

located in the north of the country, approximately 90 km (60 mi) fromAmman. The surrounding hills of northern Jordan are responsible for its verytemperate climate during the summer months when it is several degreescooler than Amman and enjoys cool breezes.

Unlike Amman, Irbid is not exposed to many foreigners; it is neither thesite of international corporations nor of specific tourist attractions. Hence, itssociety has retained a very Muslim-Arab flair, and English is not often heardon the streets. The city’s main economic feature is Yarmouk University, arenowned comprehensive university with approximately 22,000 students.

Even though Irbid does not possess historic sites of its own, it offerseasy access to many of the important historical and archaeological sites ofJordan, such as Amman, Jerash, Umm Qais, the Dead Sea, the JordanValley, Petra, and Aqaba. Students will have ample opportunities to visitthese and other places of interest during their stay.

The Language CenterOne of the primary goals of this Program is to completely immerse the

participants in the Arabic language. As mentioned above, Irbid provides anideal setting for language immersion due to its Arab-Muslim society anddue to the fact that there are only a minimal number of people who useEnglish—or the Arabic-English mixture often encountered in Amman—butrather speak exclusively Arabic.

ProgramThe Summer Study Abroad program at Yarmouk University in Irbid provides a

combination of activities for the participants, joining intensive language instruc-tion by native-speaking faculty of the university with a Program-sponsored educa-tional excursion as well as many opportunities to explore the country and its peo-ple on weekends or at the end of the program.

CoursesProgram participants from the University of

Richmond will receive 2 units of academic creditdependent on placement and course. Course levelsoffered are:

Jordan

2010 MAY 15–JUNE 25, 2010

JordanThe Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is in many respects a purely

European construct. It started out in 1923 as the Emirate of Transjordan,ruled under British supervision. It became independent only in 1945. Afterthe Six Days War in 1969, it lost the West Bank and Eastern Jerusalem.

Jordan neither possesses any noteworthy natural resources nor is its locationof outstanding strategic importance. Instead, it is located between Syria,Lebanon, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq and thus right in the focal point of theMiddle East conflict revolving around Israel and Palestine. Indeed, more than 50percent of its population are Palestinians. It has been King Hussein II’s amazingachievement to keep his country stable—and arguably safer, more liberal andmore democratic than most of its neighbors.

This makes Jordan an excellent location to take a closer look at the MiddleEast conflict. We will do so from the northern Jordanian city of Irbid with the second-largest and one of the most renowned universities of Jordan. UnlikeAmman, Irbid is not exposed to many foreigners; it is neither the site of interna-tional corporations nor of specific tourist attractions. Hence, its society hasretained a very Muslim-Arab flair, and English is not often heard on the streets.

ProgramDuring the summer, students will participate in classes, lectures, discus-

sions, cultural events, tours, and various trips to help them experience first-hand the culture and social reality of the Middle East. The excursions will bewithin Jordan to Amman (1 day); Umm Qais, Jerash, and Ajloun in the north(1 day); Petra, Wadi Rum, the Red Sea, and the Dead Sea (4 days); as well asoutside of Jordan to Damascus in Syria (4 days); Jerusalem in Israel (4 days);Cairo in Egypt (6 days). Wherever possible, there will be meetings with aca-demics and politicians.

PeruThis 6-week summer study abroad program focuses on health care in

the United States and on international public health and human rights. Aswe will learn, everybody needs health care, so it never goes out of fashion.“Health care policy” is actually a large, umbrella term for a number ofdirectly and indirectly related topics including: nurses, doctors, hospitals,health insurance, medical care for the poor (Medicaid/SCHIP), medical carefor the disabled and those over the age of 65 (Medicare), medical care forveterans (the VA), complimentary and alternative medicine, mental health,pharmaceuticals, long-term care (nursing homes), hospice care, diseasecontrol and prevention, medical research, medical licensing, food & drugsafety (FDA), and lots more.

This course also examines what makes us sick, what keeps us healthy,and what it would take to give good health the upper hand in developingcountries. Over the past 150 years, major breakthroughs in public healthhave enabled humans to live longer, healthier and more productive lives.Clean drinking water, modern sanitation and good nutrition—along withthe development of highly effective vaccines and antibiotics—haveincreased average western life expectancy by an unprecedented 35 years.Unfortunately, the benefits of public health have yet to be extended tomany of the poorest nations in the developing world. Meanwhile, in thepast two decades, infectious diseases that had nearly been conquered,such as tuberculosis, have come surging back, while devastating new dis-eases such as AIDS, SARS and West Nile Virus have emerged. Microbialresistance to many modern drugs is rising, threatening everyone. Withglobalization, humans are more vulnerable to outbreaks from any part ofthe world. Increasingly, therefore, the health of any one individual dependson the health of all.
