Summer Intern Joins AFJN
Barbara Vi Ho is a senior at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. She is a History and International Peace Studies double major with a minor in Gender Studies. She is particularly interested in post-conflict transformation. Barbara spent the 2009 spring semester completing an experiential learning program in Uganda through SIT/World Learning where she resided with a homestay family and attended classes taught by Makerere University professors. She also spent half of her semester doing research in northern Uganda (Kitgum district) on community-level approaches to reconciliation and local notions of justice and peace. She spent last summer in Bosnia-Herzegovina serving as an intern in the human trafficking department and this summer, she returned to the country to conduct research on the connections between the divisive education system, nationalism, and the perceptions of youth on their country. Barbara hopes her internship with AFJN will help her gain a firmer perspective on how the role of active citizenship in the U.S. and U.S. policy itself shapes African countries and development.Page 1 of 7
