As an international studies major and Arabic studies minor, Berkley Barnett is interested in the effects of migration on identity. She explored these effects through the context of food in her Office of Undergraduate Research funded project on American Jewish communities’ attachment to nationalized Israeli food in summer 2024. Berkley took her passion for migration studies to Jordan in fall 2024, where she learned about refugee health and displacement by visiting clinics and nonprofits across the country. Since then, Berkley has returned to Jordan to study Arabic, where she continues to engage with refugee and immigrant populations through volunteering as an English conversation hour leader at the Collateral Repair Project. Outside of school, Berkley is an avid journaler and amateur pianist. Berkley believes that the impact of Anne Frank's personal narrative can teach society to look for creative ways to build understanding through sharing stories and cultural heritage, like food.
