Welcome!
Welcome to the DIS-Argentina 2006-2007 Blog.
This blog is part of Drew University's International Seminar (DIS) program to Argentina in Fall 2006-Spring 2007. The program begins with a 4-credit seminar (ENGL 40/SPAN 117: "Identity and Ethnicity in Argentina") to be held at Drew in Fall 2006, team-taught by Ada Ortuzar-Young (Professor of Spanish) and Sandra Jamieson (Professor of English). In January 2007, we go to Argentina for a little over 3 weeks (spending most of our time in Buenos Aires). Then, on our return to Drew, students complete work on their research project and present their research in a public colloquium. They also complete and edit a collection of travel writing begun whilst in Argentina.
During our time in Argentina, students will explore the questions at the heart of the seminar, conducting research, interacting with citizens, and traveling to significant districts of Buenos Aires and adjacent towns (including Moisesville). They will also post regularly to this blog to keep parents and friends updated on their research--and adventures. There will be occasional posts in Fall 2006, and we will provide links to the final projects and travel writing that students produce in Spring 2007, but most of the posts--at least one a day--will be added in January 2007. In the meantime, we have posted a few pictures to show you where we are going.
We hope you enjoy the journey!
