During the Spring 2014 semester, the students in Professor Michael Batson’s course researched the diverse ethnicities that call Staten Island home. They visited cultural institutions, studied census data, and used online mapping applications to graphically portray the location of ethnic enclaves. The students also looked at different public schools across the borough sought to see how well the schools reflected its demographic diversity.
