This course focuses on multi-faceted species conservation. We are particularly interested in the next generation of learning programs and public engagement campaigns through zoos and schools in Brazil, the U.S., and other countries. There may also be the opportunity to support the development of a golden lion tamarin park and educational facility in the heart of their range. We will examine the strengths and weaknesses of the “flagship species” approach, well represented by the golden lion tamarins, and explore the next steps. We are delighted to work with our primary course partner, Associação Mico-Leão Dourado (AMLD), a Brazilian non-profit organization that has played a central role in golden lion tamarin conservation. Associação Mico-Leão Dourado is supported in the U.S. by the non-profit organization Save the Golden Lion Tamarin. Before and following the field experience in Brazil, students will complete coursework via Dragonfly Workshops' Web-Based Learning Community as they apply experiences to their home institutions.
A Guide to Studying Abroad in Rio de Janeiro
Subjects & Courses
Portuguese Language Studies. Many study abroad programs in Rio de Janeiro focus on learning Portuguese and understanding Brazilian culture. Rio provides countless different programs for expanding and enhancing student’s understanding of Portuguese, for speakers of all skill levels. There are also study abroad programs in Rio that combine classroom learning with excursions into the various regions of the city, in order to gain practice speaking in real life settings. Regardless of the program, students who study in Rio de Janeiro can opt to take Portuguese lessons on the side too, outside of formal coursework.
Business & Economics. The city’s $200 billion economy makes it the second largest economy in Brazil. Since it was once the capital of Brazil, Rio is home to the headquarters of some of the largest corporations in the country too, such as Petrobras, the Brazilian national oil company. Rio is also home to the second largest stock market in Brazil, making its financial sector an important player not just within the nation, but globally. An increased understanding of virtually any sector of the city’s economy, easily gained through studying in Rio de Janeiro, is a fantastic way to boost your education in the fields of business, economics, and finance.
Anthropology & Community Development. The greater metropolitan area is home to over 12 million people, meaning studying abroad in Rio de Janeiro provides fantastic opportunities to explore human interactions and society on a community level. Currently, certain areas of the city are facing serious social issues, including poverty, homelessness, and widespread crime, which, though very serious problems, should not deter students from studying in Rio. By exploring the field of development through study abroad in Rio de Janeiro, students will have the chance to get hands on experience in the field and begin building a better future for locals.
