Department of Politics and Government Professor Michael Hendricks, Applied Community and Economic Development (ACED) graduate student Matthew Stinson, ACED fellow and Anthropology graduate student Laura Keeran, and ACED alum Dane Myers participated in a panel discussion November 11 at Normal Theater, regarding their experiences serving in the Peace Corps.
The discussion occurred after the debut showing of India 42: A Peace Corps Story. Dr. Brent Simonds, of the School of Communication, produced the documentary, which features a behind-the-scenes look at Peace Corps volunteers who served in India working with sustainable agricultural practices in the 1960s and how the experience impacted their lives.
Dr. Hendricks served in Nicaragua and China, Stinson served in Rwanda, and Myers served in St. Vincent. Along with two other panelists, Hendricks, Stinson, and Myers answered questions from Simonds about their experiences serving in the Peace Corps and how their service impacted their lives.
