Community-Based Learning at the Richmond Flood Wall

Margaret Dorsey was a 2022–23 CCE faculty fellow and co-led a CCE faculty excursion to the Richmond Flood Wall, then integrated the excursion experience into her Borders and Migration and Introduction to Anthropology courses this fall.

“This field trip served as a reminder that our campus does not exist in isolation,” said Kristin Santana, one of Dorsey’s Borders and Migration students. “Global issues and structures like migration can easily be observed around us if we look for them.”
