Reflection on Avatar Project

December 19, 2015 catalinarodriguesmorales1 Comment

I admit that I had my hesitations about the avatar assignment when it was assigned. I suspected that some of the description of people’s attachment to it was hyperbole. That while some people might be particularly connected to their character, I might just think of it as any other assignment. I’m pleased to say… Read more“Reflection on Avatar Project”

Reflection

December 15, 2015 antoniovitali1 Comment

I found this assignment incredibly moving and provocative. Your class in general has made me rethink and question what it means to be a history major. I am so comfortable with readings and historical accounts, papers and analysis. Throughout it has dawned on me how clinical my experience with history… Read more“Reflection”

Going back

December 14, 2015 antoniovitali1 Comment

Gina, I am writing to you from a bench that would have faced my old home if it were still here. Now a larger house sits in its place. I guess I’m relieved. I spent hours wondering if it’d still be here, who would be living in it, how I… Read more“Going back”

April 19, 2005 Dearest Gina, I’m sure you heard the news. How ironic that once again you are far from me at such a monumental moment. In a way, it feels right because I have always worked through these things by writing to you. This time by email and from… Read more“April 19, 2005”

Semester reflection

December 14, 2015December 14, 2015 miguelkirlova1 Comment

This class has gotten me thinking about learning as an act we do subconsciously and intentionally. I’ve thought about my intentions for taking this class and questioned whether it was a self-indulgent way to dwell on the experience I had recently in Buenos Aires without an eye toward its long-term… Read more“Semester reflection”

Mirando hacia el pasado. Moviendome adelante.

December 13, 2015December 13, 2015 miguelkirlova1 Comment

4 Junio, 2007 Estoy leyendo el cuaderno en que escribí mis emociones y pensamientos a lo largo de mi adolescencia y la dictadura. La última cosa que escribí en este libro era una carta a Julia en 1990, mi último esfuerzo de sostener mi esperanza que un día se reaparezca…. Read more“Mirando hacia el pasado.

Reflecting on Marisol

December 13, 2015 marisolhuerta1 Comment

As a student of this course, it is easy to understand why the Avatar Project is important to our learning. Rather than just reading the assigned texts, discussing them in class and writing about them in essays, this project allows us to interact not only with facts but also with… Read more“Reflecting on Marisol”

Final Reflection

December 10, 2015 Javier Sanchez Munoz1 Comment

This course was difficult. Not so much academically, since the readings were pretty accessible and there wasn’t an extraordinary amount of work, but it was difficult content. It was harder still to try to understand what we were learning about without having grown up in a society that had so recently… Read more“Final Reflection”

Looking Back

December 8, 2015December 8, 2015 marisolhuerta1 Comment

February 20, 2010 I am retired now. I have more time on my hands to think. I’ve said this before, but it’s such a raw feeling for me that I have to revisit it. I have genuinely resigned myself to the fact that I will die with anger and regret… Read more“Looking Back”

Javier’s Final Reflection

December 3, 2015 Javier Sanchez Munoz1 Comment

With age comes a lot of perspective. I now understand that I have been alive in a time that never should have been, and that had never happened before (aside from, perhaps, the original conquest of Latin America). In any case, these past decades have forever changed this country. Can… Read more“Javier’s Final Reflection”
