We have twice offered an on-site undergraduate course, “Imagining Jordan: Myth, History, Identity,” for students from Colorado College, a liberal arts college in Colorado Springs. The course, based in Amman, lasts one month, and grew out of collaboration between a historian of the Middle East without prior experience teaching overseas, and a historian of early modern France with extensive overseas teaching experience. In this session, we will address our approach to teaching an on-site course examining nationalism and the much longer pre-nationalist history of the region. In particular, we address taking best advantage of being on site—in terms of selection of field trip experiences, home stays, and readings—and the logistics of organizing visits, etc., from the United States. As time permits in the discussion period, we hope also to address the benefits of sending two faculty members, even if one is not an expert in the field—or perhaps especially if one is not a regional expert—and how we see our course furthering and challenging the larger learning goals of our liberal arts institution.
