It Took Courage Alright: A Presentation by Edurne Arostegui
Join everyone at the Basque Museum and Cultural Center tonight, July 13th, at 6pm for a presentation by Edurne Arostegui (ABD) entitled, “It took courage alright: Basque Women’s Migration Experiences in the American West (1848-Present).” This is an opportunity to learn more about Edurne’s Ph.D. research before she takes a sabbatical to complete her thesis, as well as a great opportunity to wish her well, and say “gero arte.” The presentation is free and open to the public, and will also be livestreamed on Facebook Live. Besides completing a Ph.D. at the Center for Basque Studies, and working as the Museum and Cultural Center’s Education Programs Specialist, Edurne is also NABO’s Euskara Coordinator. Makes me tired, just writing these words! On behalf of everyone at NABO, we wish her very productive sabbatical! Sorte on Edurne!
