My English Cousin (11/10, 6pm, Wells Hall)

Event Description: What does it mean to leave the place you were born and make a new home? My English Cousin (2019), which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, follows Fahed as he contemplates his life between Algeria, the place of his birth, and England, his new home. Fahed’s story is similar to Zaha Hadid’s, the architect of the MSU Broad Art Museum, who left her birthplace in Iraq to study and work in London. The screening is part of an evening’s conversation about culture, diaspora, and lived experience past and present. This program is presented by the MSU Broad Museum in partnership with MSU Film Studies’ Film Collective. full details

Global Experience Student Spotlight

GECP Student Mitchell Ernst on year-long study abroad in Germany:

The Academic Year in Freiburg program will forever hold a special place in my heart! I was told about this program in my freshman year German course and right after, I put all my effort into making sure I was amongst the other MSU Students also going to Freiburg. It is hard to write, in one sentence, how much this program meant to me, so I will simply give some advice... go for it! I am not being hyperbolic when I say that my Global Experience has forever impacted the way I learn, teach, and go about this world.

In this is a picture, I am in Stuttgart, on my first ever solo trip. It was a goal of mine to plan a solo trip for myself during my final handful of days in Germany. I learned so much about myself from simply spending a day traveling.
