From Wall Street to the Great Wall: reflections on teaching a travel course to China
by Anna Shostya; Joseph C. Morreale
International Journal of Teaching and Case Studies (IJTCS), Vol. 4, No. 3, 2013

Abstract: Globalisation has brought about radical changes to college curricula, especially in economics. Among other pedagogical tools, travel courses have become a popular component of different international programmes as they give economics majors a rare first-hand opportunity to learn about the current political, social, and economic dynamics that are impacting other countries' cultures and institutions. This paper discusses the issues involved in developing a travel course to China, as well as the objectives, content, organisational matters, and logistics of an international travel course. To guide the discussion, the authors use their own experience of taking 19 undergraduate students to China.
