Thank you to Dr. Vania Smith-Oka for teaching our class, directing this website, guiding my research, and helping gather my scattered thoughts over the course of the semester.
Thank you to my classmates for stimulating discussions, broadening my mind, and always remembering where class is.
Thank you to the Kellogg Institute for International Studies for funding my summer internship.
Thank you to the NGO clinic staff where I worked. I do not use the true name of the clinic or town to protect their privacy in my research.
Thank you, thank you, a thousand times to my host family, who are also called by pseudonyms here. You helped me start to learn what it's like to be Nica, and made my summer deacachimba.
