“Stepping away from campus, spending time with Italian teens figuring out life as they go, and observing the slower pace of life alongside introspective promenades around the beautiful, walkable, orange streets of Bologna enabled me to accept making time for the soul, for people, and for the other things in my life that make me happy, trusting that work and other obligations will get done around it.

“This mindset aligns closely with Italy’s Slow Food movement, which we learned about in class, which champions the same philosophy: that taking time to savor life’s simple pleasures leads to greater fulfillment than rushing through them. It is often in these moments of breaks, reflection, and learning new things that clarity emerges and new areas of interest arise.” - Julia Karsner, Duke in Bologna

“What was so great about this program was the number of knowledgeable and passionate people who came together at the site. Beyond Duke, we had researchers from China, South Africa, Kenya, and Canada. We would have evening lectures where each professor and graduate student could do an informal presentation about their project. Hearing people speak so passionately about their specific areas of anthropology showed me just how vast the field is and how many different paths I could pursue within it. The professors and graduate students were also incredibly approachable and it was so fun and insightful to talk to them at dig sites, around the fire, or at dinner. I learned so much from hearing their stories and asking any questions I had.” - Naomi Wordofa (‘28), Duke in Tanzania Field Studies
