Buen dia! I am Maha Marouan. I am associate professor in the Gender and Race Studies department and a specialist in the African Diaspora with a specific focus on women and religion. This is the second time I am directing this graduate seminar in Cuba on "Gender, Race and Religion in Cuba". This was a wonderful trip. There is nothing more rewarding or satisfying to me as an educator than to see the faces of my students, excited, curious and greedily immersed in the learning process, making friends and exchanging ideas. So, here is to another memorable trip!
