Global mobility is a defining issue for the 21st century. Our project integrates the expertise of five faculty members - Vera Brunner-Sung, Jeffrey Cohen, Theodora Dragostinova, Yana Hashamova, and Robin Judd - working on global mobility from the perspectives of anthropology, history, literature, film/media studies, and filmmaking. Focusing on two main research questions, 'what does it mean to leave home' and 'how do communities accept newcomers,' we foster the exchange of ideas on campus, engage students in and outside the classroom, and forge connections with the wider community in Columbus and beyond.

Photographer Susan Meiselas has spent decades making history visible. Meiselas
doesn’t look–she sees–and her photographs remind us of the importance and power of
bearing witness to our world. Documenting strippers in New England carnivals, conflict
in Nicaragua and El Salvador, and the plight of the Kurds in the Middle East, her visually
stunning work has been the subject of exhibitions at the Art Institute of Chicago and the
Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.
Meiselas has been widely acclaimed for her ethical approach to photographing social
and political turmoil, displaced peoples, and the strength of the human spirit. Meiselas
received her BA from Sarah Lawrence College, New York, and her MA in visual
education from Harvard University.
