in the beginning.

I will be departing Austin, TX for New York on July 1st and then late the evening of the 2nd I will be making my way to Sana'a, Yemen by way of a 14 hour lay-over in London. After a couple days of sleeping off my jet-lag and the change in altitude, I will begin a course in colloquial Arabic and a little bit of research--taking oral histories of women.

I shall return around August 20th. I will be in Austin until that time and around campus helping with the UT Arabic Summer Institute! So much to do, so much to look forward to, SO EXCITED!!
