After having served as the President of the University of the Basque Country (UPV-EHU) until the end of 2016, Iñaki Goirizelaia is in Boise and will teach a class on “Nation-Making: Education and Media” at Boise State University.  The class that runs until March 11^th will analyze how the Basques have survived as a nation – “nation, though not a nation-state,” after 40 years of dictatorship under Francisco Franco.  

Boise, ID.  The lecture is the result of joint cooperation between the World Languages Department, in the College of Arts and Sciences at BSU with the support of the Etxepare Basque Institute.  The course will “explore the historical efforts that the Basques, a nation, though not a nation-sate, have made to re-establish themselves after 40 years of dictatorship in Spain.”

The course discusses “their project to create a comprehensive political entity, entails the creation of a successful and modern educational system, and public media structure within Europe.”

This is a one-credit course that is especially aimed for those students in Gender Studies, Honors, Basque Studies, Communication, History, Sociology, Public Administration and Education.
