Phase Two of the Program: Preparing for Departure

After a full and successful week in Prague, the group is preparing to depart for Kraków, where we will remain until a week from Saturday.

As in Prague, we'll begin with an orientation to the city over the weekend. In the course of the week, Polish scholars will lecture on Polish political history, Polish identity, gender, religion, and integration into the European Union. Excursions include trips to Nowa Huta (built by the communist regime in the 1950s as a model industrial community--without a church) and the concentration/death camp complex of Auschwitz-Birkenau.
