I submitted this project as part of my senior capstone for the Honors Program at Ramapo College of New Jersey. This paper is centered around the history and policy behind the current school lunch system and the lobbying for the eradication of the Free and Reduced Lunch Program.

Dividing Lines: How Redlining and County Borders Have Defined Public Education in New Jersey
One of my main areas of interest is geographic politics and understanding how location impacts the lives of individuals. In this project, I took a look at the impact that historical redlining has had on the modern-day public education system in New Jersey, my home state and currently the 6th most segregated state for students of color. Throughout this project I compiled and analyzed data from all 21 counties in New Jersey.

Identifying Criteria for Enabling English Learner Participation Within the Learning Environment
Throughout the length of my graduate experience, I served contemporaneously as a Teach For America 2020 Corps Member in Memphis, TN as an English as a Second Language Teacher. I dedicated my graduate capstone project to my students, who I recognized as eager participants in sheltered ESL classes only to become reserved in general education classes. In this project, I analyzed the history and policy that led to the development of ESL instruction in the U.S. and ultimately was able identify practices for encouraging English learner participation in general education classes.
