Come to beautiful Sorrento, Italy, for an exciting interdisciplinary program entitled "Summer in Sorrento" to be held during Summer Session One, June 1-25, 2006.

The program is based in the picturesque town of Sorrento, Italy, located on western Italy's Amalfi Coast at the southern tip of the Bay of Naples.

The program includes excursions to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius; Rome; Naples; Positano; Paestum; and the island of Capri. We also explore a wonderful sampling of Italian culture, cuisine, and traditions. The Bay of Naples and nearby Mt. Vesuvius provide fascinating geological and ecological adventures.

The six credit Summer in Sorrento program is composed of two 3-credit Hofstra University courses, both taught in English: 1) "Human Values in the Context of Culture, Community and Conflict," taught by Prof. Linda Longmire and Prof. Johan Ahr, and 2) "Poetics, Politics and Performance in Italy: Creating Artistic Communities Abroad," taught by Prof. Lisa Merrill and Prof. Cindy Rosenthal. Students are required to take both of the courses.

The projected program fee of $3,200 includes the flight to and from Naples, with ground transportation to and from Sorrento; housing for the period of June 2-25, 2006, all field trips, which are part of the program; an array of special events; and use of the facilities at Sorrento Lingue, our host institution. Students will be housed in lovely apartments with full kitchen facilities and double rooms. In addition to the program fee students will need to pay the tuition costs for the six credits.
