Malta is a 鈥渕ultilingual鈥 island with a rich history of migration from all corners of the Mediterranean. This trip focuses on real-life questions about migration, culture, religion and language and the interface between these and socio-political issues.
Through meetings with academics and cultural actors and visits to ethnic neighborhoods, you will engage in conversations about these questions, learn about the rich history and the current situation on the island where Maltese, English and other languages are spoken. Through visits to historic and cultural sites, such as St John鈥檚 Co-Cathedral, the beautiful old cities of Rabat and Mdina, and the medieval Citadel on Gozo, you will understand the depth of past and present struggles of migration and occupation.
