Taylor Brewer ’28 featured by Posse Foundation for Carleton off-campus study experience
Brewer is majoring in history at Carleton.
Taylor Brewer ’28, a Posse Houston Scholar, was featured by the Posse Foundation in a piece titled, “Carleton Scholar Expands Horizons Studying Race, History, Language Abroad.”
Taylor Brewer, a Posse Houston Scholar at Carleton College, spent ten weeks last fall studying abroad in Cuba and Brazil through the program Afro-Descendant Identities in Cuba and Brazil. The experience explored race, history, language, and culture across two distinct national contexts.
The program began with three weeks in Cuba—a destination that held particular significance for Taylor as a history enthusiast. There, Scholars examined how race operates within a socialist system and explored the role of tourism in everyday life, particularly in Havana, where international visitors are a constant presence. Due to U.S. travel requirements, the group followed a carefully structured itinerary throughout their stay.
