Junior Year Abroad Network

The Junior Year Abroad Network (JYAN) connects Georgetown students studying abroad in a variety of cultures. Students share reflections on religion, culture, politics, and society in their host countries, commenting on topics ranging from religious freedom and interfaith dialogue to secularization, globalization, democracy, and economics.

JYAN is now in its eleventh year. Over 455 students have traveled to more than 51 countries on six continents, blogging about religion and society. Explore this page to read their blogs and comments. JYAN is part of the Doyle Engaging Difference Program.
