Kyra Levine (USA), M.A., class of 2007 |
Kyra Levine has entered a doctoral program at the Université de la Sorbonne in Paris. Her area is socio-linguistics and German colonial history in Africa. She says: "I am continuing my research on Tanzania, which was one of my cases in my AGS thesis, and the connections between national identity, colonial politics, and socio-linguistic issues related to the use of Swahili in the German colonial administration. I was so encouraged by Drs. McGiffen, Harwich and Kobtzeff at my thesis defense that it helped influence my decision to keep researching this multifaceted topic." |
