Excursion to Trinidad
In March 2011, 15 students of the Department of Cultural and Social Anthropology (Dr. Drotbohm) and the English Seminar made an excursion to Trinidad.
Together with the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, a meeting was conducted regarding the subject of "Creolization in Trinidad". Students of Anglistics and Ethnology elaborated topics like religious minorities, eating habits, Creole identity, postcolonial literature, creole languages, unionized representations of ethnic groups and museal representation of the Indian minority.
Most of the students stayed longer than the period of the excursion to prepare additional studies or empirical surveys for their final assignments
