This colorful, dynamic two-week study abroad course welcomes students to experience a kaleidoscopic India most foreigners rarely encounter. Together with local community members, learning from their integrated, cross-generational perspectives, students will explore sustainable tourism in the context of a small-scale fishing village nestled between an enchanting freshwater lagoon and a breathtaking stretch of white sandy coastline along the Arabian Sea in Southern India. As India grapples with a rapidly changing climate and industrializing society, sustainable tourism offers opportunities for resilience-building and inclusive, just growth. Through emergent strategies and community-based participatory research approaches, students will have the opportunity to investigate sustainable tourism, building upon principles and perspectives in social ecology, secure tenure rights, responsible resource management, community development, natural-cultural heritage, climate justice, and positive youth development.
