Building Bridges for Creative Learning from the Bay to the Bantaba Bill Roberts
Building Bridges for Creative Learning From the Bay to the Bantaba Bill Roberts Since 1996, St. Mary’s College of Maryland has sponsored three field study programs to The Gambia, West Africa. Ten students joined me for the first program in the summer of 1996. They stayed in Gambia for a period of either four or six weeks. Each student selected a research topic and, with help from me and the Gambians or expatriates I knew, collected original data for a report on their topic. We published the reports together in a volume titled Tubabs Under the Baobab: Study and Adventure in West Africa. We sent our friends and colleagues in The Gambia copies of the volume, and gave another 20 copies to the Methodist Bookstore where they were sold for 100 dalasis apiece. They sold quickly, but not long thereafter, the bookstore closed. The 1998 group on the bantaba at Tanje village museum. summer of 2000, and spent over six weeks in West Africa. Joining me were faculty advisers Professor Lawrence Rich (foreign languages) and his wife Celia, a professional photographer and social activist. For me, the third occasion of the field program was highly symbolic and meaningful. Our return demonstrated continuity in our growing commitment to create a collaborative program of learning, research and service. St. Mary’s field program in Gambia has evolved towards a ‘mutualism’ model of collaboration that generates benefits for all participants, U.S. Americans and Gambians alike. The first group of St. Mary’s students to live and study in Perhaps the most significant aspect of the 2000 field The Gambia for a six-week period in 1996.
