Tell me about your thesis

From Afternoons, 3:26 pm on 22 November 2018

Caleb Harris grew up on a farm near Dannevirke, and did his masters thesis at the National University of Colombia, in Bogotá.

He tells us about what inspired the topic; Sharing and becoming aware, as a society, of grief, mourning, pain and death through the contemporary Colombian novel. A reading of two cases: The Armies [by Evelio Rosero] and Rancour [by Óscar Collazos].

Below are some photos he took in Colombia that inspired his masters research.
