I’m currently studying naming practices in 7 countries on a Watson Fellowship. I’m curious how names are defined both by the individuals who bear them and their cultural and historical contexts. The process of naming a child is shaped by considerations that include religious traditions, government restrictions, family history, and cultural icons. I'm interested in how names act as microcosms for societal questions of identity on an international scale.
We're thinking of you and will see you tomorrow for a Moroccan Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHey Sweetie- We remember last Christmas with lots of fond memories. We are all thinking of you. We will be thinking of you as you greet your family on your "temporary home" turf :-). We wish we could be there too!
ReplyDeletelots and lots of love to you!
AJ and Grandma
Hi Nell,
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to be a part of your home sickness :-D. Very soon you will be oh so happy to see your Mom and Dad. And I know you have good plans to show them what you know about Morocco already. We all will be thinking of you as Cathleen and Cyril join the Fischer/Millers as we sit down to have day after Christmas dinner. You three and Bree and Travis in Kansas will be toasted!
love,
G'ma
