Al-Bustan at Cabrini University

Cabrini University invited us to come and facilitate a discussion on immigration and themes related to #iAlphabet for a combined undergraduate seminar with students taking courses on immigration and linguistics. Students and professors discussed displacement, borders, stereotypes, and the idea of home after which they created their own mini-alphabet. The group decided on “Freedom” as the theme for their mini-alphabet and worked in pairs to choose a word coinciding with each letter, create a visual representation of the word, and write a definition or statement from their own experiences and perspectives.
