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.
