Meet the Fellows
"Taking full advantage of Columbia’s resources, my self-study plan included coursework on race and ethnic inequality, urban education, social movements, early childhood development, and modern dance history. The discipline of reading, writing, discussing, researching, and reflecting each week upon these diverse but interrelated areas made for an extraordinary year."
