Key Takeaways

This map shows all of the OCS programs Carleton has offered.

The programs running to London and Cambridge appear to be the most popular with the longest run times and largest number of students.

Viewing the photos and memories along side program data we can see how influential study abroad programs are in the lives of the individual participants.

Europe is the destination for the highest number of programs which potentially suggests the presence of ongoing Western biases and Eurocentrism.

This map is highlighting images from a very small subset of programs. We are missing photos and memories from a large number of programs. This is largely due to time constraints in data collection. In a perfect world we would have additional information on every program that has run but this becomes much more difficult as we move backwards in times. This is a place where this project could be expanded.
