Hey All,
It's about a week before I set off, so I figured I'd set up this little travel blog to keep everyone informed about my travels and such. I'm both eagerly anticipating and slightly terrified about this trip. I'll probably write more about that in the week to come, as I assure you I will become steadily more excited and terrified. But before we start anything, here are some facts about the trip itself:
*The name of the program is Women's and Gender Studies in Europe, or WGSE (wogsie!) for short. I'll probably refer to it as WGSE or wogsie, just because I'm a lazy typist.
*On this very special journey, we will be visiting five different countries in this order: Netherlands, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, and Turkey.
*Along the way, we will be studying, you guessed it, women's and gender studies! We will be going to lectures from all kinds of feminist types, as well as working on 2 courses taught by a professor that travels with us and completeing and independent project of our choosing.
*The project of my choosing is going to be about transnational sex work in Europe, and the varying levels of agency and autonomy these individuals have (from people who freely chose sex work to human trafficking, though I think that dichotomy is kind of false, as I plan to examine).
So those are the facts. I'll be keeping y'all updated along the way.
