Thursday night we took the last train to Madrid, and Juanjo’s dad picked us up and brought us to Toledo. Then we left early Friday morning and drove 2 1\/2 hours south to a small city in Andalusia called Ja\u00e9n, where one of the professors supporting my Fulbright application teaches. I went to a day-long conference of sorts, where I presented about my project and got feedback. There were about 10 of us, all students or colleagues of this professor, and all working in immigration studies in Spain. I learned a lot from hearing about other peoples’ projects, and it was wonderful to finally meet this professor in person. Definitely worth the trip.<\/p>\n
Juanjo came with me and spent a little bit of time in the morning exploring the city, including visiting the Cathedral. Then he found a library where he spent most of the day working too.<\/p>\n

I expect to have more small trips like this one this year, hopefully to many places in Spain. Part of my goal for the Fulbright is to learn about and meet people in the world of research and academia here, and this kind of forum is great for this: a small group for the whole day, all doing research in similar areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
