The MERLIT Research project is pleased to welcome Evelyn Christina Wiredu for a Summer 2025 placement.
Evelyn Christina is a senior majoring in Culture and Politics, with a focus on Education, Migration, and Storytelling at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. She has spent time on campus working for the Department of Performing Arts and as a Teaching Assistant for Maps of the Modern World and Introduction to International Relations for both college and high school students. She is also involved with various black student organisations such as the Black Student Alliance, African Society of Georgetown, and Black Theatre Ensemble. In addition, she has been learning American Sign Language for a number of years. In Summer 2025, Evelyn Christina joins the MERLIT team - in association with the VUB's BIRMM research group - for a Migration-focused study placement. In particular, she'll be researching the concepts informing language education in Belgium-based associations that accompany and support refugees and asylum-seekers, by carrying out qualitative interviews.
