January interim courses offer a great diversity of transnational experiences throughout the world. Manchester's peace studies students have helped build Habitat for Humanity houses on both coasts of Nicaragua (1986, 1991), repaired roofs in the Virgin Islands (1990), brought art projects to children in colonies along the Texas border (1996), visited the worst slums in the Western hemisphere in Haiti (1995), made friends with Cuba youth at the Martin Luther King Center in Havana (1994), and visited the violence-torn streets of Belfast in Northern Ireland (1997). Other January session groups have traveled in Costa Rica, Cuba, Mexico, Senegal, Nigeria, Egypt, India, Greece, Turkey, eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union. Political science offerings have centered in Washington, D.C., and social psychology classes have gone to Florida and Hawaii. Students have studied topics ranging from communal groups in New England to inner-city problems at the Urban Life Center in Chicago.
