| dc.description | From John Boughton: Rachel’s paper emerged from an open-ended assignment set for my World History class. Students were asked to interview someone born and raised in a foreign land, to conduct academic research on their interviewee’s country and, in synthesis, to write a study of its culture and history. Quite simply, Rachel did this superbly. She wrote eloquently but precisely. She was comprehensive in scope but rigorous throughout. Most impressively, she combined anecdotal evidence with the hard data and critical analysis of academic accounts to produce a history that came alive. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | In beginning my research for this assignment I was intimidated by the scope of information on Greece and its ancient history. My thesis took shape from an interview with Anna Guatieri, a woman who grew up in Greece and now lives in the US. After our interview and once I began more intensive research, I came to find that, due mostly to her insight and character, Anna had provided me with a thorough and telling paper. The experiences that shaped her young life were common experiences in the evolution of modern Greece. The stories she shared in our interview gave shape and meaning to the written history of her country, allowing me to understand, and, in turn, retell it. | en_US |
