The Honors College Mongolia field studies program combines travel, course work, intensive language study, and the opportunity to conduct independent research and/or internships. Students not only spend extensive time in Mongolia but also visit Russia, China and other neighboring countries. By traveling through northern Asia, students are introduced to the reality of Mongolia’s landlocked position between China and Russia. In today’s lecture, three students with ambitions as varied as medicine, engineering and geology will share their experiences in this remarkable program and how their new viewpoints on Mongolia have changed their lives.

The State of Cultural Studies (today)

Religious Studies as a field in the academy is often linked to the field known as "cultural studies" (since as many of you have realized in your classes it's often difficult to distinguish between "religion" and "culture"). If this interests you and you are free this afternoon, you might want to check out this panel discussion at Carnegie-Mellon (no guarantees that they'll address religion but you never know):
