Student Engagement Journals
The Kenan Institute for Ethics promotes the experiences and reflection that turn undergraduates into ethical leaders and global citizens through programs such as DukeImmerse: Uprooted/Rerouted, DukeEngage: Dublin, Kenan Summer Fellows, and internships. To get a sense of their experiences, read the journals that students write as a reflection on their time involved with various programs.

DukeImmerse: Uprooted/Rerouted
2013
Twelve students in two teams spent a month doing field research with either Bhutanese refugees in Nepal or Iraqi refugees in Egypt. These students spent the first part of the semester gaining knowledge on refugee issues and research methods, then used their time abroad to collect refugee narratives for individual reports on different themes of life in the camps.
