STSP 315

Engaging Spanish Culture

This course is designed to allow students to gain skills in cross-cultural communication: to understand how the world might look from the standpoint of Spanish experience, to learn how to discern and, where appropriate, adapt to Spanish cultural expectations of the other; to learn how to distinguish between the enduring principles of human morality and their Spanish-specific adaptations; to witness Spanish cultural embodiments of faith, and thus to reflect on the substance and definition of ones own faith by comparison. This course is taught in Spanish by the Calvin director and is required of all students. (Cross-Cultural Engagement core)
