Following is a note from Professor David Wright regarding a great 2nd 8-week ENGL/AFRO course that he’s asked us to help publicize.   Please share this info (and the attached powerpoint) with students you think might be interested.  Thanks!

————————–
“Slavery & Identity,” my ENGL 274/AFRO 298 class that includes two weeks field-study in Benin, is still open for enrollment.  We’ve reconfigured the course and extended the deadline. Now, it will meet as a 2nd 8-week course, with Wednesday class meetings (5 PM-7 PM) from March 18-May 6, followed by two weeks field study from May 17-31.

A few relevant points that may be of interest to your students:

– The course counts for Gen Ed credit.

– All LAS students who enroll will automatically get a $1,000 scholarship toward the estimated program fee ($3,650-$3,850).

– Other scholarship aid is available.

– The new deadline for applications is March 1. Students will be notified within a few days.

I will be holding an information session at the study abroad office Wednesday January 28 at 5 PM, in Lincoln Hall Rm. 1026. Students can also contact me directly with questions: wright3@illinois.edu.

Would you please announce my course to interested students?

I’m including the updated PPT.

Thanks so much.
