    Global

    Cross-Cultural Lives
    by Matthew Fishbane
    I'm interested in the idea of home -- especially for people Pico Iyer calls "global souls." I also pay a lot of attention to Colombia, and its underreported war.

    A Palestinian in New York City

    My portfolio is about the Palestinian community as new immigrants in New York City, with a focus on how 9/11 is affecting them (backlash continues to date) and how the Israel-Palestine situation is shaping their lives here.

Though many activists recoil at the thought of labeling themselves at all, most prefer the term "global justice movement" if one must be used.

    by Gabrielle Menezes
    I became interested in journalism through human rights reporting. I grew up in Zimbabwe. As Mugabe curtailed press freedoms, I became more interested in journalism. My background has made me realise what an important role journalism plays in keeping governments accountable and democratic.


    La Crise de la Republique, Divisions in French Society
    by Marjorie Conley
    The French 2002 presidential elections triggered a political earthquake that rocked the nation and the world. Although radical, Jean-Marie Le Pen and his Far Right National Front Party rallied sufficient support to oust the moderate popular Left and fracture further an already divided French society.

    The political discussions surrounding the elections and the attacks on, immigration, crime and the establsihed elite sparked debates surrounding equality in education, spatial exclusion, integration and immigration. This project examines the divisions in contemporary French society and how the nation is reflecting on these issues.
