Over the past two years, I have alternately used this blog for Arabic class assignments and dispatches from my semester abroad in Egypt. It's been just over a year since I finished my junior spring semester in Alexandria, and I am happy to announce that I will be back in Egypt starting on Monday! This time around, I will be there on a fellowship with the Center for Arabic Study Abroad (CASA), a yearlong program affiliated with the University of Texas and American University in Cairo.
Egypt is in the midst of a historic political and social transition, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to watch this transition unfold firsthand. As I did during my semester abroad, I will fill this blog with my observations of daily life in Egypt, stories of my adventures in Cairo, and analysis of political developments throughout the year. Please feel free to share this blog with anyone that you think might be interested!
More to come soon. Now, it's off to pack and eat one last meal in San Francisco.
