An Introduction to Our Minsk Adventure!
Welcome to my new blog, which will chronicle my family's adventures this summer while in Minsk, Belarus! We now leave in less than one month and are very excited/nervous about all that lays in store for us half way across the world. While I have done some venturing off to the far reaches of the globe, this will be the first time we will all go together as a family, for an extended stay. While we recognize that the cultural immersion will definitely be difficult at times, we are also excited for the challenge and the many rich learning opportunities we will undoubtedly have this summer!
In the coming weeks (before our actually departure), I plan to add posts explaining (1) what the Fulbright program is, (2) a brief history and overview of the contemporary sociopolitical, economic, and cultural context in Belarus, (3) my visiting appointment at Belarusian State University in the School of Business and Management of Technology, (4) how we got ourselves into this mess in the first place, and (5) what we have done to prepare and get to this point. Once we arrive in Minsk and get settled in to our new temporary home, I plan to add posts on a regular basis so family and friends can share the experience with us! (And your comments will be much appreciated as we looked to stay connected with loved ones while we are away...)
Feel free to follow the blog and stay tuned for much more to come!
