Mayo festival. This festival has, at least since the 1950s, become a symbol of the Afro-Caribbean minority culture in Nicaragua. Students will also develop practical documentation skills: interviewing, photography and videography. Students will work closely
with local students at the Bluefields Indian & Caribbean University on the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua. Graduate students are welcome to apply. Applications are due November 15th for all students. For more information, please contact Katey Borland at</span>
