International Fellows engage in American experience through ‘Discovering Dixie’
Elon University professor Jason Husser couldn’t imagine curtailing the examination of American history to simply reading a textbook or sitting in a classroom. In a new Winter Term course called “Discovering Dixie,” Husser, assistant professor of political science, led students in the International Fellows program from landmark to landmark in historical cities including Charleston, Atlanta, New Orleans and multiple North Carolina locations. “I enjoyed getting to know the International Fellows and helping them grow intellectually, both as scholars and future global leaders,” Husser said. The students completed reading assignments and watched various films during the lengthy bus rides between sites, both of which related to the landmarks students saw along the way.
