This year’s 马库斯的同伴 worked on global urban studies research projects from two different lenses. Rory Trani ’24 was inspired by having her first tastes of freedom as a teenager on the Portland, Oregon area metro system (known as the MAX) and by her experience of the efficient, modern metro system while studying away in Copenhagen. 罗里利用了这些经历, 广泛的文献综述, and interviews conducted on the trains in both cities to compare the two transit systems under the guidance of Professor 加思•迈尔斯.
Hannah Lorenzo ’24 was inspired by her identity as a Filipina American to investigate the role and importance of Asian-owned food businesses in the 哈特福德 area. 而罗里则采取了全球比较的方法, Hannah investigated the importance of complexities of diasporic communities in 哈特福德 while being advised by Professor Keavy McFadden.
