Journey to Taiwan this summer to collaborate on an outstanding, interdisciplinary research project. The primary focus of this NSF (National Science Foundation) PIRE (Partnerships in International Research and Education) funded study and research/internship program is forecasting extreme weather incidents (typhoons and torrential flooding) and responses. The project includes a strong emphasis on the pivotal roles of (1) uncertainty in forecasts and (2) decision-making by emergency preparedness organizations, community leaders and members in severe weather events. A small group of UAlbany's Atmospheric Science and Emergency Preparedness students will receive almost all expenses paid on this summer adventure in research and culture engagement. This is a unique opportunity to conduct research with leading scientists at National Central University and National Taiwan University, Taiwan's top-ranked universities as well as UAlbany's valued research and student exchange partners, and to intern with world renowned experts at Taiwan’s versions of the National Weather Service and FEMA.

London is a city made famous by its royal residents in Buckingham Palace, and the world rejoiced when Prince Harry, brother to a future king, married Meghan Markle, a mixed-race American woman, in the spring of 2018. While news media has highlighted the prince’s “unconventional” choice in a bride, Ms. Markle fits right into England’s multiracial community. This racial and ethnic diversity is not just a sign of the country’s future but also its colonial past. London is also reflective of its neighboring city of Paris in France. Both these urban centers are renowned for their rich history and world class art and architecture. Lesser known is their impact on black women’s transatlantic histories. This 9-day study abroad in London and Paris with a follow-up online course explores the multiracial histories of unique women who have reshaped their race and gender identities in these rich cities and influenced transatlantic cultures pertaining to slavery, colonialism, arts, and social movements. Tour highlights include the city of London and Windsor, Kenwood House – home to Dido Elizabeth Belle – thriving black neighborhoods in London, a tour of Paris and sites relating to famous women of color, from Sally Hemings to Josephine Baker, a visit to the Musee D'Orsay and its special exhibit on "Black Models," the Louvre, and a dinner cruise on the Seine River.
