- [00:00:05.130]When I came over here,
- [00:00:06.140]I joined the human trafficking
- [00:00:08.340]and vulnerable populations research lab.
- [00:00:10.690]And so I think that was
- [00:00:12.600]key in helping me decide
- [00:00:14.810]what my research focus would be.
- [00:00:16.380]Like one of the initial projects I was involved in
- [00:00:18.380]we try to identify the prevalence
- [00:00:20.320]of human trafficking in Nebraska.
- [00:00:22.410]And then I got the opportunity to go for a study abroad
- [00:00:26.350]on Human Trafficking in India.
- [00:00:28.450]It bothered me and moved me so much
- [00:00:30.650]that I wanted to go back and do something about it.
- [00:00:32.930]Currently, what I'm focusing on is exploring families
- [00:00:35.660]of marginalized women
- [00:00:37.470]in commercial sex industry in India.
- [00:00:39.523](upbeat music)
- [00:00:43.910]The main initiatives that we've done together
- [00:00:46.820]is the creation of NCLUDE
- [00:00:48.890]that's the Nebraska Community of Learners
- [00:00:51.420]Understanding Diversity through Education.
- [00:00:53.680]And it's amazing
- [00:00:54.850]because it gives a platform where people
- [00:00:57.300]who are experts on the topic come forward,
- [00:01:00.200]and tell us about evidence-based research about practices
- [00:01:04.330]that are helpful to improve diversity
- [00:01:07.270]and inclusion within the community and campus.

- [00:01:14.110]To bring about change in an educational institution
- [00:01:16.110]you cannot work alone.
- [00:01:17.600]And that's exactly how we work in ODI.
- [00:01:19.820]We work as a team.
- [00:01:21.170]We work with the institution and with the community
- [00:01:23.280]and we're trying to bring that change.
