Capstone Papers

Next Friday, my graduate cohort of 11, will be presenting our final capstone papers. If you happen to be in the Bay Area on May 7, then feel free to come by and participate in our presentations.

After 2 years, I am proud of us and proud of what we have accomplished together. Below are the papers each member will be presenting. It might give you a small glimpse into what a Masters of Intercultural Studies actually is.
