Introduction

I am going to be spending a month in Ghana beginning this Saturday. I am going as part of Washington and Lee University's Spring Term study abroad program in Ghana. There are about twenty W&L students in the group and two professors. We are studying "African Political Economy" and "African Economic Development"(if you would like a reading list for either or both courses e-mail me). We are studying at the University of Ghana located in Accra, Ghana. We have been assigned a home-stay in Accra who will house and feed us breakfast and dinner. In the morning we have a class taught by one of the W&L professors and in the afternoon we either have an excursion or a class taught by a professor from the University of Ghana. On the weekends we have excursions outside of the city of Accra.
