Overview:
At CSI, Prof Catherine Lavender’s class divided into groups to study different ethnic communities in NYC. Working with ITF Scott Henkle, each group completed a site, and they were all collected on a main class site. Groups studied Egyptian, Polish, Ukrainian, Caribbean, Korean, Sri Lankan, Dominican, and Mexican communities. Groups took different approaches to their material, but most focused on the experiences of immigrant groups in Staten Island and included maps, interviews, and visits to restaurants.
