- Title
- Transformation through travel: Where do I belong?
- Description
- Jennifer Kozak, a current Ph.D candidate at Western University working on her thesis on "Identity transformation occurring on student service learning trips", shares her story of personal transformation. As an anglophone Canadian who has studied the Spanish language she brings a unique perspective to cultural transformation and identity. Her travels that began in Cuba and sparked her interest of the Spanish language and community. From there she continued on her journey for further language acquisition and academic achievement. This journey started in Canada and has spanned across several Hispanic countries and customs from which she shares her experiences. We are also given a glimpse of the Spanish community here in Canada and receive a look into how the Spanish community operates in London, Ontario. In addition, motherhood has also changed the course of Jennifer's life and she explains how having a son has pushed her desire to be involved in the Spanish community. The strength of the community can be seen through her accounts within a mother support group and her story helps to influence and encourage current language students.
