Woodsworth College Program in Jerusalem Woodsworth College has recently introduced a program in Jerusalem with a range of courses being offered concurrently for University of Toronto credit. Study Tours for Credit From time to time the Department has offered study tours offering intensive experiences of the areas being studied. These typically involve preparatory work, intensive instruction and study while abroad, and a major paper usually prepared after returning home. Credit is usually offered for RLG courses, limited to either a half-course or a full-course University of Toronto credit, depending on the duration of the study abroad course and the level of intensity. Archaeological Volunteer Programs Many archaeological excavations have intensive
educational programs to supplement the practical daily work
on the dig. These generally offer credit from the sponsoring
university, which can be transferred to University of
Toronto. The transfer arrangements should be made before
leaving for the dig. Opportunities are available almost
anywhere in the world, and many are available in the Middle
East, Turkey, Greece, and Rome. When the University offers work-study opportunities, I have participated in it, with several positions available, either in areas related to archaeology/architecture/computer visualizations or in editorial work on manuscripts in progress towards publication. I will participate in the program in the year 1999-2000. The approved positions are as follows: Archaeology/architecture/computer visualization. Students with either a good computer background, preferably with experience in 3D visualizations, or with strong interests and experience in the archaeology of the Middle East in the late-Helllenistic/early Roman periods, will be needed for an ongoing research project that centres on the architecture of Herod the Great (73-4 BCE). Undergraduate or graduate students in architecture, classics, fine art, middle eastern or religion may be qualified to apply. Preference for students with knowledge of some of ancient Greek, French, German, Modern Hebrew. Editorial manuscript assistant. Students
with a strong background in the editing of others’
work, with a knowledge of MS preparation, a fine eye for
typos, inconsistencies, redundancies, and the like, will be
needed for ongoing publication projects. These projects
include "religion and architecture," "Judaism and
Christianity in Corinth," "Paul." Undergraduate or graduate
students in religion, classics, fine art may be qualified to
apply. Preference for students with knowledge of some of
ancient Greek, French, German.
Supervision at either level usually entails projects that are either generally social-historical or architectural-archaeological in nature. Current or past projects have included such topics as:
