6934: Undergraduate Thesis on Haitian Migration to NYC (fwd)
From: Sarah Plimpton <splimpto@abacus.bates.edu>
[please respond directly to Sarah at the address above.]
My name is Sarah Plimpton and I am a student at Bates College in
Lewiston, Maine. As a senior, I am currently writing my undergraduate
thesis Haitian transnational identities with Professor Gina Ulysse and
she has advised me to use this list. I am focusing on the ways in which
one's class in Haiti affects the ways that Haitian immigrants construct
social and cultural networks in New York City and simultaneously sustain
connections with Haiti.
I am very interested in learning about the personal experiences of Haitians
in the New York City area. I have lived in Brooklyn for my entire life and
have some access to a few individuals. I would like to expand my sample.
If anyone would be willing to discuss their experience or meet with me for
an interview, I would appreciate it so much! Also, does anyone have any
suggestions of other people or community centers I might contact? Any
suggestions and advice are more than welcome!
Please be so kind as to contact me directly. My email address is
splimpto@bates.edu.
Sincerely,
Sarah Plimpton
