This website was created by students enrolled in Global Viewpoints in Literature (ENG 213-001S) as part of their participation in the Gear Up Kentucky Summer Academy 2024 at Northern Kentucky University. Working with Dr. Tonya Krouse, Professor of English and Director of NKU's Transformational Thinking for Community and Career Certificate (STAR Program), students studied literary texts that helped them to explore African culture, conflict in the Middle East, and immigrant experiences for Asian-Americans. This website constitutes the culmination of their critical and creative thinking in the course, and it gave them a chance to apply their classroom learning to the real world as well as to reflect on the course.
