Myth Trips and Workshops

[alanajoli]

These are a couple of great international academic experiences I wish I could participate in. Since I can't, I'll post my wistful musing about them here:

• Mark Vecchio, who teaches the myth tours I TA'd for, is leading a Peru trip this May/June. Think about this, if you will: lines drawn on the earth to communicate with the gods; a liminal city

I thought last I'd heard last year was Mark's last year on the Simon's Rock faculty. Do you know how he's still leading a trip through Simon's Rock?

[alanajoli]

Yep, it's still through SRC. He's leading it with Wendy Shifrin. :)

[dcopulsky]

Is it Wendy doing it that's making it an official Simon's Rock thing, or are they just letting Mark keep teaching an occasional course?

I chased down every book of Donna Jo Napoli's my library system had when I was little. Also, woah, Peru! I hadn't heard about that one!

You clearly read all the best writers.

And also: why not go to Peru? You know you want to...
