-Study Abroad July 2011- August 2011This program explored the impact of transnational migrations on community development and racial/ethnic identity formations. Through classroom instruction and field trips to indigenous, Afro-Caribbean and other immigrant communities, this offered me an opportunity to study complex identity formations in a global context. Interactions with the communities and and people gave insight to the daily lives of those outside of the United States.
