Growing up, reading was Adriana’s way to travel the world. The places, people, and cultures she read about motivated her to go and see it for herself. Finding beauty in every place she has visited, her experiences have inspired her research. Where does one experience the best of nature? Patagonia. History and architecture? Turkey. Night life? Hong Kong and Barcelona. Site-seeing aside, at the heart of her travels has been the opportunity to connect with people and learn from others about their cultures. While travelling to learn Chinese Mandarin in Taiwan, she serendipitously stumbled upon her current research focus. Listen to hear how this former computer programmer became impassioned about education and how the goal should be bringing together different languages and cultures, ultimately learning from each other.
*Biography:
Adriana Marroquin-Rodriguez is a Ph.D. student in Higher Education at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) at the University of Toronto in Canada, specializing in Comparative and International Education. Her areas of interest include student mobility, international student experience, and critical internationalization studies. Adriana has travelled extensively and has developed a keen interest in East Asian culture and knowledge traditions. Through her thesis research, she seeks to promote reflection and conversations about the differences and commonalities among different cultures, knowledge traditions and about what we can learn from each other. Besides, under the direction of Professor Elizabeth Buckner, Adriana contributes to a research project team that is empirically examining how different higher education institutions in Canada and the world frame and practice internationalization.
