Dear Professor Rosaldo,

I’ve been following your work in the last 5 years and I’ m really impressed by your critics and point of view about anthropology and ethnology.

I think your book Culture and Truth: The Remaking of Social Analysis illustrates the real need to understand the other in his context. Nobody is able to describe the other’s experience if he tries to enunciate his story with his prejudices. Also, with your work I think it’s open a new door to read the anthropology studies.

As a student of the female Chicana literature, I consider that culture is a big problem that sometimes anybody wants to think about. In my view, culture is fundamental to answer a lot of questions which arise while you read the text. Even a text  will never be something alone without questions to answer.

Therefore, I would like to apply for your summer program, because I’m really interested to know and participate in your actual  research and discussions. Moreover, the summer program would enrich my own research so it’d be really important to my thesis project.

Sincerely,

Laura Lezama

What I want from this course?

My first experience with English was when I was in middle school. I had never learned anything in English and suddenly I started to study in a bilingual school. All my classmates had already learned a lot of things in English and I hadn't. It was my first awful experience in this incomprehensible language. Of course, I never learned any English so I started to hate it. Despite of my experience, when I was at university I took up again the English class and I discovered that English was an interesting and beautiful language so I decided I wanted to learn it.

Thus, I really expect to improve all my English skills, writing, in my view, is more important than grammar, because if you improve your writing, in consequence, you improve your grammar. I hope, with this course, to start to write more professionally because sometimes I feel very stupid writing simple and basic sentences.

Finally, I never have applied an English accreditation and for my professional life it's really important so I have to work for that.
