Workshop on the Basque Farmhouse: Nov. 1-2

This workshop studies the Basque family farmhouse, which is core to the Basque Culture and determines many of its unique and universal characteristics. (There will be a field trip to the Basque Museum). The workshop takes place Nov. 1 and 2 (Saturday and Sunday) in the Multipurpose Classroom Building, room 201. If you need another credit for fall, this is something you could add to your schedule (especially if you are a full time student who doesn't have the maximum credits one could enroll in per semester!)

Find it on BroncoWeb (History 494-1094) and learn about Basque culture! For questions on this workshop contact Alberto Santana Ezquerra at 426-5331.

Women and the Vote: Lisa McClain in the News

Yesterday (October 28), the Idaho Statesman published an opinion piece co-written by Boise State University's Dr. Lisa McClain and Linda Basch, the president of the National Council for Research on Women. A teaser:

Women, who are being aggressively courted by both campaigns, have much at stake in this election. Now that attention has turned from lipstick to the economy, perhaps we can start a dialogue on what really matters to women voters in Idaho.
