Journeys Through My Eyes – Marronage, Freedom, and Resistance in the African Diaspora

April 15, 2021 /

We are excited to continue sharing our students’ perspectives on their Global Journeys this year. Today, we will be sharing two student perspectives on Journeys 2021 #JourneysAfricanDiaspora21

Destiny Tisdale ’24 shares her reflection on her Journeys experience (and her photos!)

“I enjoyed the virtual experience a lot! It was great speaking to people that were all over the world! Of course I wish it could have been in person and zoom fatigue did occur, I think it was great to experience the virtual reality of the world!”

Thank you so much for your insight and wonderful photos, Destiny!

Hannah Savage ’24 also shared her experience and photos with us.

“I learned so many amazing things from my Journey’s week. It was such a blessing to be given the opportunity to interact with and learn about the history and culture of people who are literally in the same state as me. This experience has opened my eyes to so many interesting ideas and made me realize how truly beautiful and unique people can be.”

Thank you so much for your reflection and photos, Hannah!

Journeys Through My Eyes: (Post)Colonial Legacies

April 12, 2021 /

Over these next couple of weeks, we are featuring student perspectives on the Global Journeys virtual immersion experience this year.

We are continuing with Journeys 2021 #JourneysPostcolonial21:

We were fortunate enough to have two students share their experience in this class.

Kit Tures ’24 shared their reflection and experience via an Instagram takeover:

“My journeys experience was meaningful because I enjoyed the broad cultural overview that we covered. Our speaker was very engaging, and I learned an incredible amount about the gender disparity in Martinique. I especially liked the attitude that the speaker held towards Carnival and the freedom it allows everyone.”

Thanks, Kit! Your artwork is phenomenal.

Maleah Slade ’24 also shared her experience:

“(Post)Colonial Legacies allowed me to take part in cooking classes that not only taught how to prepare dishes from the domestic/international locations, but also taught the history of those locations. The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and answered every question my classmates and I had. This Journeys trip allowed me to experience the culture and tradition of Martinique and New Orleans from the comfort of my own home.”

Thank you, Maleah! Your food looked like it turned out amazing.

Journeys Through My Eyes: Islamic Art & Culture

April 3, 2021 /

Over the next couple of weeks we will feature the perspective of students who participated in this year’s virtual Global Immersion experience.

We start with Journeys 2021 #IslamicArtCulture:

Afnan Mahmud ’24 shared her experience with us:

“I had a great time participating in the workshop throughout the week. We learned the basics of calligraphy, geometric art, and Arabian Coffee! We also cooked CousCous and made hummus from scratch. Not to mention learning illumination art and the basics of belly dancing! The smell of cloves in my kitchen will forever remind me of the people we met and the knowledge we gained from them while having fun! It was a great bonding experience for me. And although it was virtual, Dr. Iqbal tried her best to make peak week special for us and it showed! I am very lucky to have received the appropriate tools to participate in the workshops.”

Thank you for sharing, Afnan! It looks like you had an amazing time.
