Kate Callihan, Sarah Diviney, Stephen Dyer, Sarah Mapes, and Alexandrea Schlafer
This website explores topics of immigration and identity in the modern American context. Stories from Vietnamese, Guatemalan, and Muslim immigrants illustrate their unique experiences with the current American sociopolitical climate and the challenges of the immigration process.
With changes in visa policy, a xenophobic administration, and growing tensions between immigrants and non-immigrants, these stories provide the perspectives of those who bravely leave their homes. Doing so in search of safety, shelter, and opportunity in the United States of America, we have highlighted how these such endeavors have shaped the identities of these courageous immigrants.

Healthcare Across the Atlantic Ocean: Looking at Healthcare in the United States vs. the United Kingdom
Anna Kemper, Collin Cahill, Thomas Rousseau, Hayley Sutherland, and Julianna Neuger
Healthcare is such a hotly debated topic in the political realm, especially in the United States. Many people argue that the United States needs a socialized healthcare system, similar to the system in countries like the United Kingdom.
Our goal is to look at how these healthcare systems compare in regards to the barriers to obtain healthcare, discrimination that occurs in the system, and how freedom ties into this topic. Overall, the goal of improving access to healthcare is most important, because people need to be taken care of when they are sick or injured. -
