Community at Fazenda Serrinha
I come from a tight-knit community that deeply values solidarity and mutual support. Growing up here, I’ve experienced firsthand how we come together in times of need, reinforcing our bonds and collective responsibility.

Solidarity in Japan
Solidarity in Japan is one that I have found to be extremely beneficial. Especially, in terms of population and children comutes in Japan. Like any other country, Japan has its ups and downs, but one thing that I have noticed is that as a community they will do small things without seeking a reward back.Continue reading “Solidarity in Japan”
A Day in my Life

The idea of community
My internship has truly changed my perspective on community. Given that this is a remote internship, going into this internship, I was nervous that I would lack a sense of community, but it has given me a deeper meaning and understanding of what community means to me. With the diversity of my team, coming fromContinue reading “The idea of community”
City Forests and Richmond Park
Hello! As I’ve been spending my time studying in London, I’ve been using my free time to explore how the city incorporates urban green space, and how London conservational infrastructure differs from cities in the U.S. This exploration is the second segment of my Global Scholars journey, whereas the first part was studying conservational infrastructureContinue reading “City Forests and Richmond Park”
A Day in my Research Life
One of the best parts of conducting a qualitative research study mostly from my computer, is the flexibility it allows for my routine. Although I am sitting down and working for large portions of my day (at least 4 hours daily) I can break up my workload logically and work from almost anywhere that hasContinue reading “A Day in my Research Life”
