Overview
Amsterdam is a progressive city defined by its cutting edge contributions to the arts, business, politics, and social policy. Students who are eager to take an independent, fresh look at the world and at themselves will thrive on this program. As the capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam has a central place in European economic, political, and cultural history. Yet, the city is far from frozen in time—some of the most forward-looking socio-political policy in the world originates here.
The IES Amsterdam summer program, Society, Culture, and Gender in Amsterdam, allows students to study art history, literature, and sociology through the lens of Gender Studies. The program also includes a long weekend in Berlin to compare and contrast the topics of study.
This program typically starts in mid-June and ends in late July or early August.
