Not every culture experiences healing the same way. So this summer students took on the role of anthropologists in a Problems Without Passports course. They traveled to Brazil to study spiritism, a healing modality in which mediums are said to channel spirits from other realms to deliver messages or instructions. Read more about their research at dornsife.usc.edu.  Images clockwise from top right: Students wait their turn to meet the renowned spiritist healer John of God; touring Brasilia; Selaron Steps, Rio de Janeiro; peeling veggies for a 'sacred soup'; view of Guanabara Bay.
