Off to Turkey

Soooooo... yeah. They have kept us busy and I haven't had time to update this. Will try to write something substantive soon. Right now we are about to get on the bus to the airport to go to Turkey. :)

I heart snow...

So. Our flight was delayed out of Green Bay, so we missed our connection in Mpls. So I am in a hotel by the Mall of America now, instead of being in Israel. We will fly to Detroit this afternoon, then to JFK, then to Tel Aviv. Hopefully it all goes well, and we don't miss any more connections. Wish us luck!

Israel & Turkey

I'm off to Israel and Turkey tomorrow, courtesy of a Title VI grant awarded to NMU by the US Dept of Education. The goal is to internationalize the curriculum. I'll be traveling with 13 other NMU professors, trying to find material to incorporate into our classes. In addition, my friend Rebecca & I are working on creating a gender-related study abroad trip to somewhere in the Middle East. Tomorrow will be a fabulous day of traveling - drive to Green Bay, fly to Minneapolis, fly to JFK, fly to Tel Aviv. I think we're going straight to Jerusalem for some sort of walking tour once we arrive. Will post when I have internet access! :)
