However, Brianda Carrasco feels that teaching empathy is a crucial part of teaching. Brianda is a proud first-generation college graduate and first to graduate in her family. She received a BFA in Theatre in 2014 and a Master's in Secondary Education with a minor in Adult Education and teaching concentration in dual credit in 2017 from Texas State University.

Her life has been non-stop theatre for about 15 years as an actress, director, stage manager, designer, and technician. She REALLY hopes that once it is safe, she can get back out there! She loves theatre, the power of education, walking outside, bike riding, baking, anything chocolate, loving on her two pups and cat, and reading theatre scripts.

Destination: Europe (Forced Migration Review 51) Oxford University Europe is experiencing the mass movements of displaced people in a way that it has largely been immune from for decades. The manifestations of the 'migration crisis' are as disparate as the building of fences to stop people crossing normally peaceful borders, the deaths of people transported by smugglers in unseaworthy boats, EU political leaders bickering over a Common European Asylum System and the numbers they will or will not allow into their respective countries, and contentious responses to the disaster that continues to unfold in Syria. Alongside this we also see an upsurge of grass-roots compassion, solidarity and assistance to those whose human suffering on a grand scale in and around Europe constitutes the reality behind the rhetoric. FMR 51 includes 43 articles on 'Destination: Europe', plus five 'general' articles.
