Conclusion

In this space I would like to make thanks for anyone who spends time on reading through this project and my work as well as those who have supported me to be able to take part in this program! I have loved my journey and my continued growth as a person and through my understanding of Social Justice and Human Rights, learning how to integrate my passions and identity into any work I do along the way! My hope is to update this site with more experiences and learning that I gain through my work in advocacy and as a Queer Latinx person living in the USA.

I started my graduate journey abroad in a program for International Relations and Diplomacy but I am ending it much happier, being able to work in advocacy while learning and researching in the SJHR program with professors that have been great. In undergrad, I mainly focused on queer advocacy and queer related issues, with other identities and intersectionality being a support to contextually queer issues. My journey in the program has shifted my thinking to bring more nuance to the forefront and providing/thinking about more main perspectives. While I still find it majorly important to bring other identities into the analysis of contextually queer issues, the value of broadening the intersectional approach to have multiple identities at the forefront is invaluable. It is also impossible for one voice to accomplish this, I want to make that incredibly clear. While I find a lot of value in the words written in this project, I can never complete it myself without including the voice of others, not only scholars but of the other people I have an will meet in my life. I've learned intersectionality is much larger than just thinking from other perspectives or including diverse sources, it's a way of operating, with the goal to operate interjectionally at multiple levels. This approach can take us far in advancing fields and thoughts as other perspectives bring differing solutions in academia, in activism, and anywhere else.
