Alumni and friends ventured down under from July 4-14, 2024, experiencing Australia’s rich, diverse, and complex history in the bustling city of Sydney! The group learned the histories of the traditional custodians of the land, the perspectives of the British colonizers, the experiences of immigrant communities, and a glimpse into modern Sydney. Leading the way was Laura Seddelmeyer, Ph.D., assistant professor of history, who has over 20 years of experience researching in, publishing about, and traveling to Australia. She was joined by Caroline Payne, Ph.D., associate professor of political science, who has extensive experience guiding groups to the Dominican Republic, where she leads the Warrior Coffee Project.
