Riley MacQueen, a double major in International Affairs and Political Science as well as International Affairs Global Grant recipient, is currently studying abroad in Paris. Read more about her adventures and educational experiences below!

I have now completed my first month of classes with both CIEE: Semester in Paris; where I am participating in classes studying Intercultural Communication, Fashion and Business in France, and the Culture and Cuisine of France (which is a solely French speaking class), and with the ; where I am studying the Art History of Anglophone Countries, and the History of Civilization of Great Britain and the United States.

There have been several noteworthy excursions, including the tour of La Sentier- where the fashion industry of Paris was born, and a private tour of design center- one of the most creative and sustainable fashion designers in Paris currently. The chance to expand my knowledge of fashion and its roots within both business and politics has been incredibly eye-opening. As a double major of International Affairs and Political Science, gaining firsthand experience of the effect of foreign policy and of tariff and trade agreements on such a fundamental industry of international economic relations allows me to gain a deeper understanding of international economics. Furthermore, Benmoyal's commitment to sustainable fashion, and the avenues one most pursue to do so, has a much deeper network of transparency, finance, and advocacy then I was aware of.

Several other significant excursions include the tour of , and my class's visit to . Musée de du Quai Branly is a museum dedicated to the exhibition of Indigenous art cultures of Asia, Oceania, Africa, and the Americas. While in Paris, I have been determined to fully immerse myself within the culture here, so this was my first experience solely focused on culture outside of Europe, and it was incredibly insightful.  Le Procope is the oldest café in Paris, and is considered legendary amongst many influential figures, including Jean Jacques- Rousseau, Voltaire, and Diderot. The history that Paris preserves is beyond belief at times, and I often find myself feeling as if I am in a dream.

Finally, this month I was also able to visit London. Within my short weekend trip, I explored Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the House of Parliament, The Thames,  Westminster Abbey, and many of the other incredible attractions London has to offer. Studying in Europe has provided me with so many incredible opportunities for adventure, expansion of knowledge, and emersion within culture. This chance to reflect on my recent life changes has granted me an opening to practice gratitude and gratefulness each day, and I look forward to everything that comes next! 

Thanks for sharing your experiences with us, Riley! We look for forward to seeing what the rest of the semester brings for you.
