Postgradute Studies

I really love studying, and I have not stopped doing it from pre-kinder. Nowadays, I am studying a PhD in Latin American Studies, but if in the future I would have the opportunity to study again I would choose history of art or economy or, maybe, if I would have a lot of time, both: history of art to enjoy and economy to understand better social and economic process and to be able to discuss with economists, who always invalidates critical ideas about economic system from social movements arguing that people doesn’t know anything about economy. I´m convinced that we must fight against the belief that economy is like an undoubted truth.

If I could, I would like to study abroad, in a foreign language country because I would like to improve my English and also learn French or Italian, so I would choose places where I could learn one of these languages.

I would prefer a full-time face to face programme, in order to live for a time abroad and have the experience of know other culture and because I not really like e-learning education, maybe just for my own ignorance and a little bit of conservatism about e-learning.

However, when I realize how hard is doing postgraduate studies, I think that would be better taking other kind of studies less demanding, like short courses or summer schools.

    Hi Pierina!

    I agree with you about most economist. In fact, and now I speak from my professional training, environmental history is strongly conditioned by economic history and the typical dilemma between human progress and nature protection, which economist obviously win. Regarding you, you can always take elective courses and study on your own to prepare yourself before any postgraduate study, art and economy are a great combination to learn without becoming overwhelmed or obsessed with a specific topic :)

A place I have visited The best place that I had ever visited is Cusco and its surroundings. Cusco is a very beautiful small city, located in the southeast of Perú at a height of 3.400 meters. Cusco is a very beautiful small city. With colonial buildings like the cathedral called Basilica Virgen de la Asunción. Lamentably a big part of the Cusco’s beauty comes from the dispossession of the inca people: many amazing walls and buildings of the city were built with stones stolen from the inca’s temples. It was the dark side of the colonial process. Buy, despite that, Cusco is a real beautiful place. The surroundings of Cusco are very cute too, places like the Sacred Valley, which is a lovely place. It looks over the mountains, there are hardly any cars there and there are hardly villages too. So, the place is very quiet and natural and has a spectacular landscape. Certainly, the archaeological sites are the most interesting attractions of the Cusco´s surrou...

A special day, my favourite film I have seen a lot of movies in my life. When I was an undergraduate student and I had many spare time, I saw 2 or 3 films a week. So is hard for me to choose one between all the movies that I have seen, because many of them are really good films. But, considering photography and art direction, movie script, direction and actors’s performances, I can choose one called Una giornata particolare (A special day) directed by the Italian filmmaker Ettore Scola and starred by Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroiani in 1977. The fim is set at the 1930´s in Italy, specifically at the day when Aldolf Hitler visited Benito Mosslini at Roma at May 1938. In this context, the film tells the story of “Antonietta” (Loren) and Gabriele (Mastroiani). Antonieta is a housewife who is married with “Emanuele Tiberio” an Italian soldier with whom has seven sons and Gabriele is an homosexual man who had been fired for his sexual orientation and had been condemned to exil...

Sports in my life Sports were very present in my family, because my father loved sports and played tennis, principally until his health allowed him. My older brothers did sports too. So, when I was child I had a close relationship and a good disposition for sports.  Among the sports that I did, I enjoyed very much doing athletics at school. I don't know if I was good at it but I liked. But the sport that I most enjoy when I was child was riding horses. I did it from 7 to 12 years old and it was one of the most important experiences of my early life, because I could develop a kind of love and friendship with horses and because this sport wa s very demanding and needed a lot of discipline, and as a child, these elements were very important to form my personality (Though when my family had economic problems I had to leave this loved sport and, really, all sports for a very long time). But,  when I became an adolescent I putted my attention on music and books and I l...
