  • The most impactful learning has been defining Fascism and distinguishing the true aspects from the term as a general insult.  

What do you hope to either learn yourself or share with others about the program (based on what you know so far)?

  • I am interested in observing how Germany addresses and lives with its dark history.

What are you most interested in learning about while you are in Berlin?

  • I am most excited to get to know the city well as we spend the time abroad exploring museums, historical sites, bakeries, and restaurants.

What pastry or food are you most excited to try in Berlin?

  • I am excited for the intellectual conversations I will have on Nazism and Fascism while sipping a cappuccino with the same pastry Peter orders.
