SJU: All the Above 

Pick a journey of three options to hear students insights on freedom of speech on campus, what they've learned, or even just observations of their favorite place.

Language & Literature

In Language & Culture, students read the foundational linguistic anthropological text, Wisdom Sits in Places: Landscape and Language among the Western Apache by Keith Basso. Students learn how Apache elders convey ancestorial wisdom and moral guidance through reference to specific Apache place names. Descriptive names of venerated sites implant images of well-known allegories in order to instruct, warn, or guide. Using this cultural and linguistic practice as inspiration, Language & Culture students identified a place that reminded them of a moral or lesson from their own past. They shared photographs of the place and briefly explained the moral lesson or guidance of which they are reminded of when you think of this place.
