Sixth College Internships in Dublin
Dublin, Ireland
Overview
FACULTY LEADER
Bill Geibelwgeibel@ucsd.edu
Trained in both education and political science, Bill Geibel is a scholar-practitioner of experiential learning, global education, and civic engagement. His research is focused on understanding universities as political actors and the ways in which they prepare students to be engaged and diplomatic citizens, both within and beyond national borders. This interest is also at the heart of his teaching and administrative work, as he has developed numerous educational initiatives that seek to bridge theory and action, including programs and courses in community engagement, service-learning, global studies, career development, and intercultural communication. Whether it be through classroom teaching, designing experiential learning programs, or publishing research, his ultimate goal is to help students expand their awareness of the world, locate their agency within it, and take an active role in creating the future they want to see.

WHY YOU SHOULD GO
This unique Global Seminar provides students with a comprehensive academic, professional, and cultural experience in one of Europe’s most vibrant cities. Students will be placed into internships that complement their interests. While working as interns, students will take two remote courses that fulfill their Upper Division GE requirements: CAT 124RS and CAT 125RS. These classes are designed to prepare students for academic and professional success in a globalized world and will cover topics such as intercultural communication, globalization, professionalism, identity, global citizenship, and sustainability. Outside of class, the city will be your textbook as you take advantage of all Dublin has to offer through excursions to historical sites, museums, and other local attractions. If you love to explore different cultures, are interested in global ideas and perspectives, or want professional experience abroad, then join us.
