Women's Studies

I've been perusing the Schedule of Courses online for some interesting summer classes that I may consider taking, and found this oddity:

WMNST 497A FEMINISM, ART & GLOBAL ACTIVISM ( 3) This course will consider a variety of critical, interdisciplinary, international feminist approaches to social change through art. The course will conclude with two-weeks in Arusha, Tanzania.

What the hell? This is a six-week class. Who in their right mind would take this class with the requirement that you would have to fly to Tanzania? If you wanted to vacation there, fine, but two weeks? That doesn't even sound worth it, especially if you have classes to go to. Apparently there's some kind of redeeming quality, since 14 people have already signed up. That's baffling.
