KENOSHA, WI (02/18/2015)(readMedia)-- Megan Horst of Bettendorf, IA participated in a study tour to India with Carthage College in January.
In the Religion and Society in Modern India course, students encountered three contemporary Indian religious communities: Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs. In India, students examined the life and interactions of these groups and analyzed how these interactions have been shaped by their historical and cultural context.
James Lochtefeld, professor of religion and Asian studies, led the tour. It came during J-Term, a monthlong period of study when Carthage students explore subjects outside their majors or minors, discover new interests, and test their creativity on campus and around the world. Carthage is ranked No. 7 in the nation among baccalaureate institutions for student participation in short-term study abroad, according to the Institute of International Education.
