Other Senior Seminar Projects

I was limited in uniqueness with Third World Studies senior seminar projects, but I came across one by Katelyn Kennedy about how international students acclimate themselves to a University in the United States. Basically, it describes the different stages that an international student goes through pending on where they are traveling from. It is very vague in terms of philosophical or statistical information, but very hands on. You can definitely tell that she has educational and voluntarial experience with this topic. Needless to say, she was also a good friend of mine and the paper expresses her interest and purpose as an IDS: Third World Studies major pretty well, for the most part.

What major are you again? Another member of the Third World Studies cohort? Cause I am too! And I'll also be doing the reverse of Miss Kennedys topic of study; going abroad and being a US student acclimating myself to foreign country. Did she do any research on that front, or was it solely confined to international students coming to the States? I wonder if the stages are structurally similar, just with different content depending on the culture in which you are living.
