Abstract: Abstract I explore the role of place in study abroad experiences using a study abroad I have led multiple times, “How the Scots Invented the Modern World”. This short study abroad takes students through the Scottish enlightenment and the works of Adam Smith and David Hume, while in London and Edinburgh. I explore how connecting students both to the ideas but also to the place where the ideas were developed enhances their learning. Place provides a context that can motivate students towards deeper understanding and connect students tangibly to those ideas in ways that reading and studying them alone cannot.
