During the October 2017 reading week, a group of UTM students travelled to Tanzania with Professor Sarah Hillewaert as part of ANT335H5F - Anthropology of Gender. This trip was offered as a UTM Abroad Co-Curricular Experience via the UTM International Education Centre's UTM Abroad Program.
Highlights of Trip
- Swahili lessons (local language);
- Travel to Kilimanjaro and Arusha and work alongside Femme International to learn how women are confronting gender inequality;
- Immerse yourself in family homestays;
- Visit the island of Zanzibar where you'll experience notions of gender, different from the Tanzanian mainland.
