Together, Forever
Solidarity means unified and Ghana has a strong tie when it comes to being together community-wise.

The routine here has been erratic to say the least some days we head to the university for research, other days we spend studying and getting other items completed. However during our calmer days at the university we have been able to learn equipment use for testing that will be conducting soon.

A two week reflection on helping research Muslim Hate Crime Victimization Research with an REU in Little Rock, Arkansas (Week 2)
This second week has been incredible. We hit the ground running on Monday, with each of us finding 18 sources on hate crime victimization literature. I was assigned the topic, “How do hate crimes impact victims?” and created an annotated bibliography from my references. The next day, we took our findings and divided them intoContinue reading “A two week reflection on helping research Muslim Hate Crime Victimization Research with an REU in Little Rock, Arkansas (Week 2)”
Initial experiences starting to help REU exploring Muslim Hate Crime Victimization in Little Rock, Arkansas (Week 1)
This first week transitioning into the program has been a great one. The directors of the program are so helpful, intelligent, and accommodating. There are eight of us in the cohort, and we spent the first day participating in icebreakers and group activities to get to know each other better. All of our personalities blendContinue reading “Initial experiences starting to help REU exploring Muslim Hate Crime Victimization in Little Rock, Arkansas (Week 1)”
