ISSI Graduate Fellow Adriana P. Ramírez is featured in this profile by UC Berkeley Letters & Sciences. Ramírez, who aspires to become a professor, discusses growing up in a small town, her journey to Cal and her experience in the ISSI Graduate Fellows Program, "I have the privilege of sharing a space with brilliant, thoughtful and empathetic fellows; receiving feedback on my work; and learning about their exciting projects. Beyond the sense of community, the program's structure also helps me hold myself accountable and stay consistent with my dissertation work." With the support of this fellowship, she hopes to bring greater knowledge to the experience of returning migrants; the challenges they experience in the process of return; and the role of a failed immigration system.
