One major contrast between my two Global Scholars experiences this summer is the way I have experienced community quite differently throughout both. When researching the civil and human rights implications of intelligence-led, predictive policing practices in my hometown of Pasco County Florida, I felt connected to a community I have long been a part of.Continue reading “My Experiences of Community This Summer”

My Daily Environment
The area I work is about a thirty minute drive from my house, with traffic. It is right off of something called Anna Maria Islands, so my drive is very scenic and beautiful. You can see the water from all areas of the building and during the drive, which is a great start and endContinue reading “My Daily Environment”
My Day to Day!
When I started working at the State Attorney’s Office I was scheduled Monday through Thursday and worked from about 8:30 until 3:00/3:30. However, after about a month of this routine I began taking classes and working, so I decreased my office time to just Monday through Wednesday. I actually was really sad to cut downContinue reading “My Day to Day!”
Day in the Life of a Fellow
My routine here in London is drastically different than my routine in the United States. On Wednesday, July 17th, the day was very long. I awoke around 7am to get ready and dressed to get ready for the law firm Kesar & Co who specialize in prison law. I was done around 7:35am to gatherContinue reading “Day in the Life of a Fellow”
COVID’s Impact on Courtroom Inequality
A structural inequality here, as well as in the United States, is the economic disparities that limit access to legal services for low-income individuals. Legal aid cuts in the UK have exacerbated this issue, making it difficult for vulnerable populations to seek proper representation. While in London, I had the privilege of sitting in onContinue reading “COVID’s Impact on Courtroom Inequality”
Inequalities in the Office and Out
I have run into a few different structural inequalities during my time at the Manatee County State Attorney’s Office. Starting with the actual assistant state attorney’s, it was so surprising to see how much work they were expected to complete. There is so much to do and not nearly enough office time, so many ofContinue reading “Inequalities in the Office and Out”
global news and my thoughts
Both the American political and economic climate get a lot of attention from my American family and friends. Truth be told, even my friends, family, and strangers talk a lot about the political and economic news of America. Although news of the hegemon’s political and economic climate should objectively remain highly prioritized news, “less breaking”Continue reading “global news and my thoughts”
One Island, Two Countries
One story that I think more people should talk about is the humanitarian crisis currently happening in Haiti. Coming from the Dominican Republic, a country that shares the island with Haiti, it is inevitable for me not to know about this. Daily, Dominican news cover the most important events happening in Haiti. However, international newsContinue reading “One Island, Two Countries”
My Last Moroccan Week
As I am initiating my last week in Morocco, never had I imagined I would be doing an internship in Africa, it just feels surreal. From the new people I have met, to the many places I have visited, this will be a summer to remember. The cultural environment around me has challenged me toContinue reading “My Last Moroccan Week”
My Routine!
I start off at my hotel, which is on the edge of a well-known tourist area called Thamel. After eating breakfast I walk about 25 minutes to the school where I volunteer. I saw a lot of local places and crossed the Bishnumati River. After my time at the school is done I walk aboutContinue reading “My Routine!”
