GVPT Winter Study Abroad Course: Kenya- Global Wildlife Conservation in Africa

Spend the Winter Term in Kenya, where the richness of wildlife and biodiversity have drawn the attention of conservationists worldwide. 

Engage with indigenous groups creating sustainable ways to conserve the sacred forests that are a UNESCO-recognized heritage site in Kilifi. Kenya is highly diverse—with 42 different tribes and dialects and an impressive ethnic, racial, and cultural diversity, which makes it the perfect case study to analyze conservation issues. The country’s beautiful landscapes and scenery make it attractive to those students seeking an immersive study abroad experience while enjoying the beauty of the continent of Africa.

BORDERS Student-Run Academic Journal Opportunity

BORDERS, which was created by the MAIR 4+1 program, aims to provide a platform for students to showcase their research. As fellow political science graduates, we understand the challenges of finding publication outlets, especially for undergraduates.

BORDERS is looking for papers that demonstrate strong motivation, novelty, and creativity in the fields of International Relations (IR), Comparative Politics, or foreign policy. A successful submission should present relatively novel ideas that enhance understanding in these fields, supported by existing literature and methodologies (Qualitative and/or Quantitative).

Additionally, we expect all submissions to adhere to basic writing conventions, including spelling, grammar, and organization.
