Evolving Perspectives on America and the World During Study Abroad

Prime Minister Renzi’s resignation, which came just one month after the election of Trump, set the stage for a surge of populism in Italy and also allowed me to consider the Trump phenomenon from a broader, world perspective.

Sicily: the Island of Origin of the Pioneers of Jazz Risks Losing its Cultural Heritage

Rows upon rows of hills laced with vines intermingle with the curves of the G-clef: the history that has developed in Salaparuta is one-of-a-kind.
