AELR 930 is an advanced Reading Course for Non-Native Speakers. Professor Colson's project was divided into 3 assignments over the course of the semester that asked students to consider their identity as an immigrant in America. For each assignment, the students visited either the National Museum of American History or the National Portrait Gallery. The final assignment allowed students to tell their own immigration stories and to find and create a new place in the cultural and political landscape of America—its past and its future. This fellowship helped my students tell their complex, and multi-storied identities that go beyond the word immigrant.
