    • Research Consultant
      • Aug 2014 - Dec 2016

      This project explores the relationship people have with their environment and the meaning they give to places within that environment. Throught the project we propose place-based learning (PBL) as a means of incorporating pan-ethnic diversity into the Hispanic Serving Institution's (HSI) mission. PBL requires institutions to synchronize its educational mission with local traditions, history, culture, and community. PBL pushes universities and colleges, as well as their supporters, to focus on learning from the ground up by incorporating locals (students, community members, and instructors), into a learning structure that is focused on developing human capital at the local level. We believe that PBL has the potential to empower local communities while promoting integration between local, regional, and global issues.
