Global Studies Portfolio
Welcome to my Global Studies Portfolio!
Hello! My name is Leila Zelman, and I am a Junior in the Global Studies Program at Watkinson School. My identity as a Jewish-American woman drives my passion for history, global issues, and learning more about the world around me. My dream is to go to college to study Architectural History and go on to help preserve history around the world.

Global Studies is a dual diploma program for students in grades 11-12. In this program, students work on diving deep into global issues in order to become knowledgeable and active global citizens. During Global Studies students take part in seminars, attend conferences, and explore the world around them.
Global Issue Project :
The Role of Sportswashing and Geopolitics in the Sport of Formula 1
Juniors in the Global Studies program are tasked with the Global Issue project for their main research in junior year. We are tasked with finding a global issue and producing a project on their chosen issue. I chose to do my project on Sportswahing in the sport of Formula 1.
