Week 11: A Halloweekend in Dublin and the ‘Study’ Part of Study Abroad

For the last weekend of October, I went to Dublin! I stayed there from October 27th to October 29th. I went there for the Bram Stoker Festival. I was very excited for this festival. I had a course all about Bram Stoker last semester with Dr. Buchelt at UNO, and even wrote one of the best papers I’ve ever written (at least, I thought so) for the class. It was a paper about the physical and metaphysical landscapes within The Snake’s Pass, in a colonial and indigenous context — and how these landscapes are represented by the bog, the cottage, and its inhabitants within. In short, Bram Stoker and his novels quickly became very near and dear to my heart this semester, so when I heard there would be a Bram Stoker Festival in Ireland, I knew I had to go. <a href="https://medium.com/@natabee/week-11-a-halloweekend-in-dublin-and-the-study-part-of-study-abroad-9951bda4b65f">Learn More</a>
