Dr. Braun will establish an Alternative Energy 改变Lab class at Harlaxton; provide an interdisciplinary team of students an opportunity to learn project management in a global and socially innovative context; and connect UE students with Cambridge University students already working in this arena, hopefully establishing an ongoing partnership.

Dr. 乔治ib

Dr. 乔治ib, Professor, Education

Dr. Iber will investigate a possible affiliation with the Universidad Autónma de Yucatan (UADY), 位于梅里达, 墨西哥, which could be an excellent institutional partner for two UE programs: Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL/EFL) and Spanish language majors. This proposal has two goals. The first is to investigate the existing program design and facilities at UADY that are used for their EFL program. The second goal is to establish university level program contacts for students who wish to have a Spanish language immersion experience in 墨西哥.

Dr. 理查德马斯河

Dr. 理查德马斯河, Assistant Professor, Political Science

Dr. Maass will conduct research addressing why the pursuit of annexation of nations by great powers has become rare in the modern world. The Russian annexation of Crimea in the spring of 2014 shocked international observers. 在回应, the United States and the European Union levied sanctions against Russia, affirming that annexation is now an unacceptable foreign policy goal. Since when does the dominant state in the system enforce shared norms against annexation rather than pursuing annexation of its own?

Ms. 瓦莱丽Milholland, Adjunct Professor, Art

Ms. Milholland will be accompanying several of her students returning to Guatemala in September to continue research which began at Casa Tat Loy in spring 2016 with the Mission Guatemala 改变Lab course. They will continue to teach a paper making process to the residents of Casa Tat Loy residential alcoholic treatment center to create and decorate cards to sell to the 40-50 visiting groups that come through Mission Guatemala each year. The goal is to create a self-sustainable art therapy program for local Guatemalans.
