SEA Semester: Documenting Change in the Caribbean (Humanities)
Contact:
 
A social sciences and humanities intensive semester focused on understanding 500 years of change in the multicultural Caribbean region, from pre-European contact to the present day. The Caribbean Islands have seen enormous changes in the last five centuries. Europeans brought devastating diseases that decimated native populations, and transported millions of enslaved Africans to the islands to work plantations of newly introduced crops. Early naturalists described amazing new species of plants and animals even as they were being exterminated and replaced by species introduced intentionally or accidentally. Today, the dynamic mix of cultures and biota bears little resemblance to the islands encountered by Christopher Columbus. As a tourist destination in the 21st century, the Caribbean continues to change as new demands are placed on limited resources. SEA Semester: Documenting Change in the Caribbean explores how we can document these changes using the source materials and methodological approaches of both the humanities and sciences.
