Anna Mansson McGinty named Global Studies Research Fellow

Anna Mansson McGinty will be one of five Global Studies Research Fellows for the academic year of 2016/2017. Her project “Belonging and ‘Making Home’ among Muslim American Youth: Diverse Identities, Geographies and Politics, draws on feminist, geographical, and anthropological perspectives and is informed by a feminist interest in the embodied practices and experiences of formulating multifaceted identities and “making home” in the specific social and political context of Milwaukee, a mid-sized, segregated city in the American Midwest, as well as in the face of racist and Islamophobic discourses and political rhetoric.

UWM Land Acknowledgement: We acknowledge in Milwaukee that we are on traditional Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk and Menominee homeland along the southwest shores of Michigami, North America’s largest system of freshwater lakes, where the Milwaukee, Menominee and Kinnickinnic rivers meet and the people of Wisconsin’s sovereign Anishinaabe, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Oneida and Mohican nations remain present.   |   To learn more, visit the Electa Quinney Institute website.
