Aaron Colston is a graduate student from Los Angeles, California who works primarily on the United States. His research involves the politics of adult literacy in the civil rights movement, and he looks forward to investigating similar issues in pre-dictatorship Brazil. He hopes to learn what young Brazilians want out of a university education, and what possibilities there are for university and community partnerships. When he is not doing academic work you can find him on a social excursion with friends, laughing over the phone with his grandmother back home, or practicing Bach or the blues on his alto saxophone.
