Hana Huskic '22 connects her studies by crossing boundaries-and borders

Coping with homesickness may be a challenge for some first-year students. But Hana Huskic '22 discovered a scholarly community at Gettysburg College that allowed her to link activism efforts related to her home in Bosnia and Herzegovina with her academic pursuits of an individualized major in linguistic anthropology.

Combining her interests in anthropology, political science, and women, gender, and sexuality studies, Huskic planned a research project to head home to document and participate in the first-ever gay pride march in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina, on September 8. It drew more than 3,000 participants, including ambassadors of several countries. She also covered the protest the day prior to the march and will present her research on November 7 in the Science Center.
