Upon my acceptance into the Global Scholars Program, I initially knew that I would want my summer experience to relate to reproductive care, public health, and international maternal and infant health. Through my internship with Uganda Development and Health Associates, I was able to see the interconnectedness of these interests firsthand rather than through statisticsContinue reading “Reflection on my experience”

Hey guys! This past spring I prepared for my summer experience by brainstorming project ideas, filling out forms and paperwork necessary to leave the country, and meeting with individuals to prepare the criteria for my project idea. Over the summer, I realized I did not have the proper resources to complete my initial project idea,Continue reading “Change is Good!”

Over the Summer I had the privilege of exploring the evolution of human rights as a concept through two completely different experiences. For the first eight weeks of my summer, I worked diligently on my FSU IDEA Grant-funded multidisciplinary research project which amalgamates empirical evidence from the investigations of the data-intelligence policing program in PascoContinue reading “What’s Next?”

Nigeria is going throughContinue reading “Politics in America and Nigeria”

I think it does not get a lot of mainstream attention in Nepal because this issue is so normalized. Drainage issues do not get media orContinue reading “Drainage in Nepal”

Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well! Recently, I finished up my experience and therefore had more time to reflect on things that were important to me that have been forgotten by the news and media. My background and passion has always been humanitarianism and fighting for social justice for those globally. As someoneContinue reading “Important Global Reminders”

As my time in Europe comes to an end, I find myself reflecting on the myriad of experiences, friendships, and lessons I’ve gathered over the past few months. This journey has been nothing short of transformative, and I am grateful for every moment spent here. A Picture That Speaks Volumes The picture attached above isContinue reading “Hasta Luego Valencia!”

If I could get everyone to read one journalistic article about predictive policing (the subject of my IDEA Grant research project I spent the majority of my summer conducting) It would be “Targeted” by Kathleen McGrory and Neil Bedi, with photos by Douglas R. Clifford via the Tampa Bay Times. Link to the article here:Continue reading “Predictive Policing and Lack of Awareness”
