Description
Ohio State University’s Global Arts + Humanities (GAH) Cross-Disciplinary Research Exchange supports faculty-led, interdisciplinary field schools that immerse undergraduates in the transformational value of the arts and humanities. Offered as one-credit courses or group independent studies, these programs take students to domestic learning sites to connect course objectives with places and communities, closing the gap between knowing and doing.
Each field school combines preparation, a three-to-seven-day travel experience and post-travel reflection. Collaboration with community-based partners is central: partnerships should reflect student learning outcomes and support repeat offerings. The program advances GAH’s broader commitment to understanding, representing and addressing global concerns through the humanities and arts while building an engaged research and learning community.
