One of the amazing things about this particular study abroad is that I will be studying Truth and Reconcilliation from the ACTUAL Truth and Reconciliation Commissioners who facilitated the transitional process that led from apartheid to democracy ! Basically I will get to meet and study under all of the authors on my pre-departure reading list who are experts in the fields of transitonal and restorative justice.
Though I will have unbelievable access to prominent scholars, activists, and famous South African intellectuals, I'm also holding hope that I may get to meet the great Nelson Mandela or Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
Keep your fingers crossed :-)
