Welcome to our Winter 2024 edition!
This year, another 19 valiant Seattle University students are investigating the Eurovision Song Contest in search of hidden treasures. Their degrees are from all over the university and most of them began their studies just four months ago.
The students are all taking this first-year humanities
inquiry seminar as part of Seattle U’s Core Curriculum – a general education
program in the Jesuit educational tradition that provides all undergraduates a
taste of different fields of inquiry.
Each student is spending ten weeks examining a different country participating in the Eurovision Song Contest over the last ten or so years.
Students will be posting their assignments as individual country blogs, each of which will be linked from this central site.
A public blog format is the chance for students to have a real audience.
We would love it if any of you who are either Eurovision fans or are just Eurovision-curious would check out the students’ work and offer kind and constructive feedback. Students have the opportunity to revise two written blog posts, so your feedback could really help them expand their knowledge and understanding, as well as honing their skills as communicators.
This year, students have chosen following countries to
study, organized into five peer groups that will provide each other feedback
and support. (We'll be adding URLs to their sites as soon as they're
available.)
