Hi everyone! My name is Rachel Gdula and I am from Syracuse, New York. I am a junior at SUNY Geneseo where I am majoring in International Relations. I am excited to take this class and learn more about secessionist and separatist movements in the United States, which, being an IR major, I don’t have much opportunity to study in my regular courses. I am also eager to develop my skills with digital tools, and learn more about how to use these tools to make information and academic research more accessible to the public. Looking forward to working with all of you!
