Sarah's final paper is entitled "Minority in the Majority: Heritage-Related Study Abroad Experiences", and is an ethnography of Hmong American students who participated in a study abroad program to Thailand and Laos. The ethnography focuses on the heritage seeking study abroad experiences of refugees and examines motives, expectations, and lived experiences through the students' own voices. Heritage related study abroad experiences are also examined as a way to increase multicultural student participation in education abroad.
