Estefany Hernandez
埃斯特法尼辅修人类学(语言学专业)，目前就读于联合县学院的美国手语认证课程. She is also working full time at Microsoft. She is trilingual (English, Spanish, American Sign Language) and one of the first in her family to graduate college.
埃斯特法尼说，她的人类学背景让她对美国手语有了更好的理解, including the culture behind it…. “It’s not just language, but it’s language and its context that matter. Also, I think that anthropology has taught me about the grey areas in life, things aren’t just black and white but far more nuanced. And the culture empowers everything from the language you speak, the food you eat, the friends you make, and all kinds of decisions are influenced by culture….including how disabilities are looked at.”
She also says she has had some great professors at Montclair State, who she still thinks about, and the influences they’ve had on her. “I really miss my professors, and having intellectual conversations!”
Kristin Etzold, Program Advisor, American Field Service (AFS)
Kristin had this to say about her new job, and how anthropology connects to it:
“在AFS，我们为希望获得不同国家寄宿家庭文化视角的学生提供课程. Because I spent a semester with AFS in Argentina before college, 我知道，我将主要与那些有动力变得更有全球意识的学生一起工作. 美国的寄宿家庭是没有报酬的，所以他们接待交换学生的主要动机是打破刻板印象，让外国学生真正加入他们的家庭，并能够在国内传播我们的文化. For me, 我认为我的人类学知识最有用的地方主要是鼓励学生开放思想，不仅愿意成为美国的文化大使，还愿意沉浸在他们以前可能没有了解过的文化中. This gives me hope that the future might be filled with cultured minds.”
