Basque Studies Program Newsletter · Issue 34, 1987
Visiting Scholars
During
the months of July and August, there were several scholars in residence
with the Basque Studies Program. Professors
from the University of the Basque Country included Koldo Larrañaga,
historian; Alfonso Perez-Agote, sociologist; Maria Elisa Zorriqueta,
language and literature; Laura Mintegi, literature and novelist;
Eusebio Osa, linguist; Lourdes Mendez, anthropologist.
Begoña Aretxaga, graduate student in anthropology from
Princeton University, was also in residence for the month of August.
Steve Ybarrola, graduate student in anthropology from Brown
University, visited Reno for consultation regarding his study of the
Basque community of Stockton, California.
Roslyn Frank of the University of Iowa visited the program in
April and gave a seminar on “Basque Influences in Sixteenth Century
Nicaragua.”
A Well-Deserved Honor
Recently the first volume of the supplement to Eusko-Bibliographia
(1976-1980) was published in the Basque Country by Jon Bilbao.
Several of his friends, colleagues, and admirers commemorated
the occasion by holding a banquet in the city of Vitoria to honor Jon.
Thirty-three Basque scholars sponsored the event which was open
to the public. A fine time was
had by all on this opportunity to thank Jon Bilbao for his enormous
bibliographic contribution to Basque Studies.
It is fair to say that his lifetime of effort has facilitated
the work of every serious Basque scholar.
