Come learn about the Netherlands Field School  (1.0 credits) – an opportunity open to all second, third and fourth year students. The field school takes place from the last week of April through the first week of May.  The field school consists of two days of seminars in Guelph followed by 16 days in Amsterdam and the Hague.  Find out about cost, content and other logistics.

Students will explore the historical and contemporary factors that have led to the contradictions apparent in Dutch culture today. The Netherlands is an incredibly liberal, open country, home to key international institutions promoting world peace. However, anti-immigration and anti-Islam sentiment is surprisingly strong in the country. We will explore these contradictions through field trips to many museums, places of cultural importance and historical sites, including the International Court of Justice, Anne Frank House and Van Gogh Museum.
