Ashanti Jackson receives a writing award

 Ashanti Jackson won third place in the Dolores Capitan Writing Awards (academic papers) for her essay "Emily in Paris Reimagined in Japan." The essay explored cultural differences that a young American woman might encounter if she was living in Japan instead of the United States. The essay was inspired, in part, by a Netflix series called Emily in Paris. The essay was written for Sally Merritt's PSYC 3390 Cross-cultural Psychology course.
