Ahlan wa Sahlan - Robert English
Meagan and Ben meet with our very first content writer, Robert English, to discuss Jordanian culture, hospitality, and the vastly different experiences for Western men and women during study abroad. From street racing to community-based learning, the team talks about their reactions and reflections on their time in the region. As a content writer, Robert has written Jordan 101 and recommended Waltz with Bashir, Men in the Sun, and Lawrence of Arabia. He published an overview of Turkey's Blue Homeland strategy and is currently analyzing the Jordanian clan system and how that influences elections and regional politics. Don't miss out on this unique episode about the successes and challenges of the team's cross-cultural learning!
