Dr. Kendra McSweeney is spending the year traveling to schools across the country to share her research and to spread the good word about geography through the Phi Beta Kappa program. Phi Beta Kappa, founded in 1776, is the oldest and one of the most prestigious academic honor societies in the United States, dedicated to promoting excellence in the liberal arts and sciences. As a Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar (https://www.pbk.org/visitingscholars/2024-2025/kendra-mcsweeney), Kendra visits college campuses for 2-3 days to give public lectures, participate in classroom discussions, and meet with students and faculty members.
