Ph.D. in Humanities Nora Mugica was born to an Argentinean family whose childhood was marked by the sounds of Basque music and Euskera. In Colon, in the province of Buenos Aires, Idiazabal cheese and camomile arrived every year from the Basque Country. From Colon, letters left to stay in contact with the family in Goierri. Now a reference for the National University in Rosario, Dr. Mugica continues advocating for the union between Euskal Herria and Argentina and with this goal facilitated the Basque and culture course for the Zazpirak Bat Basque club at the College of Humanities and Arts. “It is very important to include Euskera in the University, not only because it will become a valued part of the collectivity of languages but also because it will now reach another profile of people.”
