Classroom Learning
Through coursework including providing peer reviews on creative works authored by incarcerated folks to a course long, cumulative simulated research project proposal (including the IRB approval process), the Social Justice and Human Rights Master's Program has deeply impacted my development as a scholar. This unique, interdisciplinary program is showcased through brief course descriptions and selected samples of works produced.
Experiential Learning
Aleesa has sought several opportunities to develop additional skills as a social justice scholar, researcher, and advocate.
Seeking additional opportunities to expand her skill set, Aleesa has participated in a group research project highlighting the representation and framing of immigrants in news media.
Independently, Aleesa is currently conducting qualitative content analysis related to survivors of domestic minor sex trafficking. Through the identification of dominant narratives promoted by direct service providers, the advancement or denial of various components of human rights are considered.
