As much as I wish I could be going back to my beloved New Zealand, it's not an option at this time. Instead I will be heading out to Namibia and South Africa for three weeks. I am taking this trip as my Global Search for Justice (GSJ) class. GSJ is a class that every graduating St. Kate's student has to take. There are different subtopics for GSJ classes- Environmental justice, Women's Health, and many others. Most people take GSJ on campus, however there are always a couple different study abroad options. My class is titled Dismantling Racism. It will focus on just that- strategies to combat inequalities due to racism. While in Namibia and South Africa, we will have many different speakers, presentations and experiences about how to effectively dismantle racism. I also hope we have a little bit of fun, and experience some of the vibrant culture in these two countries.
While I will try to keep this blog updated, we have been warned that our internet connection might not be the best.
