Umbra Fall 2019 student, Priyanka Naithani, has been awarded a Harrington Fellowship from Clark University. She has spent the fall semester conducting a mixed methods, independent research project under the supervision of Dr. Brooke Porter. Priyanka’s research explores media coverage of migrant agricultural laborers in Italy and the USA. Through a content analysis and descriptive statistics, she has uncovered emergent themes such as integration, legislation, and economics, among others. Her findings suggest the potential negative impact of media on public perception and overall policy towards migrant agricultural laborers in the USA and Italy. Through the fellowship, Priyanka will present her findings at the 2020 Food & Sustainability Conference in Perugia, Italy as well as continue to work with her supervisor on publishing her research.
