Description
Summary:"We're looking at the border not as a Une, but we're trying to get students to not only understand the real issues but to look at it in a different way," [Gonzalez de Bustamante] said. She works the context into her lectures and provides students with readings about issues along the border. "They'll go into it with skills and an ability to write, and what they'll gain is a greater depth of research that will allow them to point themselves into a direction of a specific topic that may be of import," said [Michael A. Chihak], who earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from UA in 1971. "Let's say somebody wants to learn to be a whiz on the Web and somebody else wants to write a book about freedom of expression in Latin America. Well, obviously, they're going to take very different courses. It'll be my job to help them find the right courses," she said.
