A Day in the Life of an IEDPer, Literally 2: A (Wednes)day in my life as an IEDPer

One of the most frequently asked questions during virtual information session, email exchanges, phone conversation, etc. with prospective students is “What does your typical day at IEDP look like?” And too many times we struggle to provide crisp answer to that question mostly because our typical days look all very different! It depends on whom you ask, on what day of the week you ask … Continue reading A Day in the Life of an IEDPer, Literally 2: A (Wednes)day in my life as an IEDPer

Courses Outside of IEDP: Choices, choices, choices…

IEDP experience spills beyond IEDP – now that we have checked off a handful of prerequisite courses in fall semester, many of our cohort mates are expanding their horizons by enrolling courses outside of IEDP. Some of these outside-of-IEDP courses include refugee law, indigenous languages, global citizenship and ethnographic film-making. In this post, I will introduce the outside-of-IEDP courses that I’m enrolled for this semester … Continue reading Courses Outside of IEDP: Choices, choices, choices…

Classes, Socials, Community Services and a Guest Lecturer – Regular but Solid One Week at IEDP

The first full week (kind of) of the spring semester has ended! The school was closed in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day (MLK Day) on Monday but IEDPers were busy contributing to various community services that took place across the campus. It was only the first week but as you can see from the title, a lot happened. It might seem loaded but … Continue reading Classes, Socials, Community Services and a Guest Lecturer – Regular but Solid One Week at IEDP

With the last day of class on Monday and the last day of the semester on Wednesday, Fall 2018 is officially over! I remember, before starting the program, wondering what kind of changes I would go through after my first semester at IEDP. Would I change in any sense at all? If so, by how much? Short answers to those questions would be, yes and … Continue reading One thirds done!– Reflecting on my first semester at IEDP

Claire’s tips for remote interning/working

As my time as an intern comes to a close (along with my time as a graduate student– eep!), it has come time for me to offer my final reflections about the internship. Frankly, kids, it was a really good experience for me!  But I have a sneaky feeling that no other IEDP student will ever want this exact internship, because most people come to … Continue reading Claire’s tips for remote interning/working
