In this episode two of our Fall 2024 students, Lola Pedegana from the University of Hawaii at Manoa and Rodrigo Filio from Broward College, sit down to explore the challenges of discussing U.S. politics while living overseas. With the 2024 U.S. elections having recently taken place, these students share their experiences navigating conversations about their home country’s politics and how it impacts their personal identities. From justifying their views to distancing themselves from their government, this candid discussion delves into what it means to be an American abroad in a politically charged world.
