How time flies! As but one among many other members of Gisela’s Fan Club (Cyprus Branch), we met with Gisela decades ago, when she came with Stefan for fieldwork to Cyprus. That was when we were young and they were roaming around on a motorbike. Yes, it is true, that we were once young, difficult as it may be, I sometimes fear, for our young students to now imagine this… I admired and envied the way she taught by taking students to field trips. (I still vividly remember some of the first german students who came and their topics of research. Is halloumi sold online? Why are many Cypriot women hesitant to enter into Politics?) So I decided to copy her and I started taking my own students abroad for field trips with Frankfurt as our first one. A trip so successfully organised with Gisela’s and her students’ help, despite the cold with freezing temperatures which my students had to withstand during the various walking tours, that it led me to then organise more field trips. After growing up, and possibly maturing, I lost interest in organising such trips partly due to the logistics and difficulties to raise money, since we got almost no support from our university. Recently, we were talking with my current and younger department chair about novel methods of teaching and I mentioned that I used to organise field trips. He was surprised as he had never heard of it, and thought it was a great idea. We are now looking into the possibility of using some of our money from our postgraduate programs to organise more field trips. All due to Gisela’s initial inspiration. Thank you Gisela.
