The Institutional Study element of my sabbatical has afforded me the opportunity to revisit the academic discussion of important concepts of Comparative Politics and to benefit from the unique perspective of scholars from across Europe. The Travel/Study element has given me the opportunity to gain first-hand experience of the history, politics and culture of several countries about which I formerly knew only from books and media. In the course of my visits I have made invaluable contacts, learned countless things and had many experiences which I am able to use to add color and dimension to the courses I teach.
Thank you for the opportunity to do this.
