Aidyn Mills Entered 2006
Socio-Cultural Regional focus: Spain Topical interests: Notions of home and homeland, performance of race through fashion. I graduated from the College of the Holy Cross in 2002 in Spanish and Latin American Studies. I spent one year in Granada, Spain on a Fulbright Research Grant studying the Roma. I then worked for 2 years with the Global Learning Group of Education Development Center in Boston, MA, an NGO committed to education development. There, I provided research and operations support to project staff on a variety of internationally based projects, including projects in Afghanistan, Guyana, Ghana and Mali. My current research interests include the appropriation of "traditional" music and dance in transnational contexts. I'm specifically interested in the use of dance by Latin American immigrant communities in Spain in the negotiation of their identity.
