| HIST 110: Golden Age of Spain and Portugal - History and Culture | Study Abroad Location:
Madrid and Seville, Spain, and Lisbon, Portugal Program Dates: 5/10/24-5/25/24 Course Description: For Spain and Portugal, the 16th and 17th centuries are known as their “Golden Age” when they were the most powerful countries in Europe and ruled over empires that had colonies across the globe. Long before the British had an “empire on which the sun never set” in the 18th century, Spain and Portugal already had theirs in the 16th century. This program examines how Conquest and Colonization in the Americas, Africa, and Asia by the Spanish and Portuguese quite literally produced this “Golden Age” through extracting precious metals and other wealth from around the globe. Rather than only studying colonization with a focus on how it transformed colonies in the Americas, we will examine how it revolutionized the home countries of Spain and Portugal. Through visiting historic sites, museums, libraries, and churches in Lisbon, Seville, and Madrid constructed during the “Golden Age,” we will analyze how Conquest and Colonization in the Americas had direct consequences on reshaping Spain and Portugal. From a historical perspective, commemorating the “Golden Age” of Spain and Portugal involves examining how to both celebrate past historical achievements at historic sites, monuments, and exhibits, while also memorializing the impact colonization had on building and shaping the era. Our itinerary will include visiting: the Monument to the Discoveries and the Tower of Belem in Lisbon; the Cathedral, Royal Palace, and Torre de Oro in Seville; and the Museo de America, Museo Naval, and the Escorial in Madrid. Through visiting these locations, we will assess the challenges of celebrating a “Golden Age” when Spain and Portugal ruled the world, while at the same time memorializing the human costs of building such powerful empires, which has left long lasting social, cultural, and historical legacies to this day. | Campus Involvement, International Learning | Summer | 3 | 14 | 45 | ; | ,,,,,Study abroad, travel, global, international, foreign, immersion, culture, community | Columbia | Arts & Sciences | History | |||

| ITAL 358: The Italian Food Experience from Antiquity to Today | Location:
Rome and Florence, Italy Dates: 5/13/24 - 05/25/24 Course Description: In this interdisciplinary culture course taught in English, we will explore the history and development of foodways and the history of food culture in Italy. In order to understand how Italian cuisine developed from antiquity to today this course will approach the subject from a variety of perspectives such as archeological data, historical accounts, art, literary references, and, of course, first-hand excursions and lessons. While in Italy, students will examine food, wine, nutrition, and tradition from historical, cultural, and culinary perspectives. Lectures will be complemented by archeological site visits, museums, tastings and/or visits to local farms, cheese producers, or restaurants. Students will learn firsthand from everyday people: farmers, family cooks, historians, archeologists, professional chefs, and creative entrepreneurs who hope to celebrate and preserve Italian heritage and culture. Since the course will travel from Rome (in the Lazio region) to Florence (in Tuscany), a special interest will be focused on regional differences within Italy and the history behind these differences. All courses are taught in English, and there is no language requirement. All majors are welcome to participate. There is no better country to learn about cultural anthropology of cuisine than Italy. Italian cuisine has influenced food culture around the world and is viewed as a form of art by many. Specific cuisine and dishes are intrinsic to cultural identities and Italy is no exception. Regional differences are also an important but often overlooked aspect (or surprising for tourists) of Italian food, and these differences can be traced all the way back to the different ancient cultures who made up Italy before the Roman conquest. The modern regions of Tuscany (where Florence is located) and Lazio (where Rome is) correspond to the territories of the ancient peoples the Etruscans and the Latins and this class will look into differences between through groups through the lens of food culture and dining styles. Sites such as the Tomb of the Baker in Rome demonstrate the economic power of the productive class in Rome, while visiting the National Archaeology Museum in Florence will show students how the Etruscans also commemorated their dead with scenes relating to food and dining culture. A site such as the Uffizi Museum links the ancient and modern through ways in which food and dining are omnipresent in art across time. For example, the course will consider the symbolism in Botticelli’s choice of depicted flora and fruit trees in his famous Primavera painting, or the importance of the fig tree and fig leaf to medieval and Renaissance Italian painting. A walking tour of a Roman famer’s market ??" in the Circus Maximus ??" demonstrates the continuity of open-air food sellers in Italy, and additionally the continued value of small-scale producers, local, seasonal produce, and how these markets inspired the beginnings of the Slow Food movement and cuisine that is centered around promoting biodiversity and celebrating regional food heritage in a local rather than global economy. This course links Italy’s cultural food history with contemporary production methods and techniques by having students experience an agriturismo on which they will be able to aid in and taste the production of olive oil, cheese, and wine. This first-hand experiential learning cannot be replicated in a classroom and will have a lasting impact on the student’s perspective on what they eat and where it came from. | Campus Involvement, International Learning | Spring,Spring 2025 | 3 | 14 | 46 | ; | ,,,,,Study abroad, travel, global, international, foreign, immersion, culture, community | Columbia | Arts & Sciences | Languages, Literatures and Culture | |||

| Health, Society, and Culture in the UK | Study Abroad Location:
Edinburgh, UK Engagement Dates: 5/10/24-5/20/24 Program Description: In this program, students will identify themes in historical and contemporary discourses on health and apply knowledge of these themes to experiences of Edinburgh, and they will participate in guided experiences of the city that engage concepts from the history of science and policies related to diseases, germs, and epidemics. Students will learn about the influences of health concepts and medical science on British cultural sites and practices such as urban planning, architecture, transportation, and food. Edinburgh is an ideal program destination for discussing these issues because it is rich in medical history and scientific research. The Edinburgh Medical School, established in 1726 during the Scottish Enlightenment, is the oldest medical school in the English-speaking world. The city was an early center of medical research, particularly of anatomy. Edinburgh is also an ideal site for exploring the distribution of health, as its historical epidemics led to the development of the affluent “New Town” in the 1760s, with urban and economic planning designed to avoid the health and hygiene issues caused by overcrowding in the “Old Town”. Students will have the opportunity to explore these developments firsthand. Other educational activities in this trip include: tours of the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Royal Botanic Garden of Edinburgh, and medical museums as well as an excursion to the Scottish Highlands.

| The AI & AGI Laboratory | The AI & AGI Laboratory researches artificial intelligence (AI) in relation to human general intelligence. Our experiments are designed to observe interactions between human intelligence and simulations of AI. We measure both cognitive-decisions and biometric-reactions of participants inside the laboratory. Doing so provides insights on how learning is affected both positively and negatively by AI technology. Outcomes of the experiment also provide predictions on the feasibility, limitations, and risks of AI's pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Broad questions we explore include: Is AI changing the way we think? How does human intelligence overcome AI's limitations? How can AI address these limitations to move closer to AGI? Ultimately, we hope the process of attempting to answer these questions provide a deeper understanding of what differentiates humans from artificial creations. | Campus Involvement, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Research, Service | Ongoing,Spring 2025 | 3 | 18 | 80 | ; | ,,,,,Information Science, Human-Computer Interactions, Artificial Intelligence, Artificial General Intelligence, Experimentation, Mixed-Methods, Information Search and Retrieval, Data Science. | Columbia | Information and Communications | Library and Information Science, School of | |||
