SIT Study Abroad: South Africa: International Relations in the Global South

Explore non-Western perspectives on South-South and international relations through lectures, site visits, and internships with diplomats, activists, and intellectuals in South Africa and Mozambique. Study African Union policy, the role of NGOs, and the emergence of BRICS as an alternative power bloc. You will visit the Luthuli Museum, former home of Chief Albert Luthuli, the first Black Nobel Prize winner, and the home of Mahatma Gandhi, whose political consciousness was shaped in South Africa, to meet with his granddaughter.

Please visit the SIT Study Abroad website for details on the program courses (including syllabi), educational excursions, and housing.
