Introduction	I am a May 2012 graduate of the West Virginia University Honors College with degrees in international studies (focus in development and environment) and political science. I recently had the honor of being chosen as a U.S. Fulbright Fellow, and will travel to Nicaragua in early 2013 to initiate a ten month research project. This blog will be a space where I hope to share with you some of my learning experiences and materials and to engage in meaningful discourse about the complex field of international development.
