In the module on immigration learners learned about Igiaba Scego and the genre of graphic journalism. This example is a result of a teamwork of students that tell a story of an immigrant. Students did a great demonstration of critical thinking and analytical skills and they have shown their understanding of how a graphic journalism should look like, what elements (visual, text, spatial organization) have to have this genre. They were also able to demonstrate what they have learned about cultural products (intangible-law on immigration), practices and perspectives.

I am a Psychological Sciences major with a minor in Italian at the W A Franke Honors College. I am studying psychology with the goal of attending graduate school to earn my doctorate and become a clinical psychologist. I am especially passionate about working with military members and their families as I have many loved ones who have served or are currently serving, including my partner. I am also studying Italian because it is part of my heritage. My great grandparents immigrated to America from Durazzano Italy, but they did not pass the language down to their children so it was lost in my family. Now my grandfather, their eldest son, and I have been learning it together. And who knows, maybe it will come in handy if my partner and I are ever stationed in Italy.
