John’s interest in Argentina and Buenos Aires developed over a decade ago after hearing an Israeli professor speak at McGill University about Jewish immigration to Buenos Aires.

This past summer, he took a group of students there as part of Kentucky Institute for International Studies (KIIS) Argentina program. One of the highlights of his trip was catching a Boca Juniors soccer game at the famed La Bombonera stadium in the heart of Buenos Aires’ historic Italian quarter.
