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…

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.
