RELATED PROGRAM

Doyle Undergraduate Initiatives

Engagement with cultural and religious differences is a centerpiece of the Georgetown educational experience. The Center's undergraduate programs, part of the Doyle Engaging Difference Initiative, seek to deepen that engagement by empowering students as creators, and not just consumers of knowledge.

RELATED PROJECT

Junior Year Abroad Network

The Berkley Center's Junior Year Abroad Network (JYAN) connects Georgetown students studying abroad in a variety of cultures. Students share reflections on religion, politics, and society. JYAN is part of the Doyle Engaging Difference Initiative.

Melody Fox Ahmed, Director of Programs and Operations at the Berkley Center, oversees the Junior Year Abroad Network, along with the Undergraduate Fellows program.

Junior Year Abroad Network Annual Report 2008-2009

January 4, 2010

Forty-two Georgetown students studying on five different continents participated in the Junior Year Abroad Network (JYAN) in 2008-09, sharing reflections on their time spent living and studying around the globe. Participants wrote "letters from abroad" dealing with questions of religion, culture, and politics in their host countries. The student writings engaged their common experiences and perceptions of their different cultures, particularly the many roles that religion plays in their host country's culture. This publication reflects their experiences and shares their writings with the wider Georgetown community and beyond.
