Abstract
ABSTRACT This article explores my personal journey as a migrant from Colombia to the United States, the experiences of my friend, and the experiences of other migrants as we navigate our identity as citizens and ‘aliens’ during COVID-19. As I dig deep into what being a citizen represents when we migrate from our country of origin, I explore the different layers of meaning that this journey takes when a health pandemic, like COVID-19, is thrown into the mix.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Applied Communication Research publishes original scholarship that addresses or challenges the relation between theory and practice in understanding communication in applied contexts. All theoretical and methodological approaches are welcome, as are all contextual areas. Original research studies should apply existing theory and research to practical solutions, problems, and practices should illuminate how embodied activities inform and reform existing theory or should contribute to theory development. Research articles should offer critical summaries of theory or research and demonstrate ways in which the critique can be used to explain, improve or understand communication practices or process in a specific context.
