The Site
Barcelona, an eclectic and vibrant Mediterranean city, is one of Europe’s benchmark cities for start-ups and has everything going on from top sport, to avant-garde art, music, cooking or design. Enjoy a Flamenco performance, tour Gaudí architectural masterpieces, delight in a gastronomic adventure at La Boqueria, relax on one of the many nearby beaches, and so much more!
The Study Center
CAPA’s Global Cities program locations offer a rich field of academic potential precisely because they are multi-layered, multi-dimensional, multicultural, complex and challenging. CAPA’s unique curriculum is designed to explore the way these Global Cities have been imagined, invented, and transformed by the forces of globalization throughout their history. The individual cities become the “text” that you are guided to analyze and explore. CAPA makes this analysis and exploration possible, and personal, through our My Global City activities and events.
Courses
Courses in the field of Sociology and Global and International Studies will be taught by Professor Evelyn Benavides.
