The Sudan is the largest country in Africa and in the Arab world with nearly 50 different ethnicities who converse in more than 100 languages. From the UNESCO World Heritage Site Jebel Barkal to the capital Khartoum to the place where the White Nile and Blue Nile meet, there is more to Sudan than meets the eye.

Estonia is a country of big aspirations. Though the smallest of the
former Soviet Republics, Estonia was one of the first countries to gain
its independence from the Soviet Union, and that was accomplished through singing!
Now Estonia is on a verge of being a superpower of the cyber world. Estonia
is home to the world’s first virtual trade fair, paperless government,
e-elections, and Skype. Currently, Estonia is leading the way in the
cyber defense of NATO. Come and join linguistics graduate student Dasha Henderer
for the breath-taking story of people with big hearts who can dream beyond
geographical borders and limitations of realities.

The room is different this week, so be sure to come to 309.
