The following Course Link Capstone proposes a new study abroad program offering based in Barcelona, Spain to the director of Barcelona Study Abroad Experience (SAE). The program, titled “Romani Studies: Exploring Gypsy Culture and Society”, will have a curricular focus on the Roma in Spain. The curriculum will focus on the history of Roma, the adversities they face as a European minority, as well as examine their rich cultural heritage. A needs assessment provides evidence that there is a need for the proposed program and aims to convince the director to adopt the Romani Studies course to Barcelona SAE’s customized program offerings.
