The Orfalea Center Undergraduate Fellows are all completing the special, advanced Global Studies EAP-preparatory research seminar course Global 196, led by Lecturer Omar Mansour, a UCSB Global Studies alum who also serves as Public Education Academic Coordinator at the Orfalea Center. Below you will find each student’s most up-to-date work, including video presentations, abstracts and written pieces. These special presentations are the undergraduate seminar student-fellows current research project plans and visions before traveling abroad in the summer and/or next academic year to conduct mentored fieldwork mostly in the context of UC EAP programs. In addition to taking the GL 196 seminar, each student is a member of one of the Orfalea Center’s Thematic Research Clusters where these undergrads collaborate with Grad Students, UCSB Faculty, and global-south community-based researchers. This will be a diverse set of research projects exemplifying the potential and intellectual rigor of the undergraduate students on this campus.
