Dr. Marna Broekhoff, former instructor in the American English Institute

Friday, February 6, 12:30 to 2 in the AEI’s Computer Lab, Room 113 in Pacific Hall
Dr. Marna Broekhoff will show photos and speak about her experiences last year in Namibia as an English Language Fellow for the US State Department. She started a writing center at the country’s only university, worked with reporters at the only independent newspaper, organized the largest English teacher’s conference in the country’s history, and helped an NGO empower women by encouraging them to write about their experiences in a very male dominated society.

Marna faced many challenges in these endeavors, including charges of espionage and theft.
