Welcome to the blog for our course this semester. Each week, you're required to post an entry of at least 300 words. Sometimes I will provide a specific prompt; at other times, I'd just like you to reflect on the issues we're discussing in the class and how they relate to your own study abroad experiences. Blog entries are due each week by the beginning of class (8pm European time on Thursdays). 

There are two longer blogs due. One, due by March 30, should be a reflection on the London experience. I'm not looking for a review of what we saw and did, or comments on what you liked/didn't etc. (Happy to get these separately). Rather, please try to relate what we saw and did in London with the issues in the readings dealing with the Brexit and other issues. You will find many links, for example, between the history of London and the current situation regarding the EU and the UK. This blog entry should be appx. 1000 words.

The second longer entry will be due towards the end of the class. Details later.

I would also like you to comment thoughtfully on another student's blog entry at least twice during the semester, and more often if you'd like.

During the weeks when a longer blog entry is due, you are not required to submit your weekly blog entry, but you are free to do so if you wish.

Please remember that this blog should be used for professional/academic purposes only. It is not an appropriate place to share personal travel stories unless they directly relate to the issues you are discussing. Also remember that other members of the class, and perhaps others, will be reading your entries.

Pictures are welcome.

Please make sure you label your entries with your name (as an example, I've labeled this entry with my name). You can create a label by clicking on "Labels" to the right of the editing window. Thanks!
