Darius Moore, a senior at the University of Michigan College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, is closely watching the travel restrictions in the Dominican Republic.
The country currently remains closed to travelers coming from the United States, but it could begin relaxing restrictions on travel by mid-summer, as vaccination improves COVID-19 outcomes.
It would be perfect timing for Moore winner of the $25,000 Raoul Wallenberg Fellowship Award for 2021 to accomplish an independent project of learning or exploration anywhere in the world during the year after graduation. He seeks to investigate the impacts of intersectional stigma on health care access among minoritized groups in the Dominican Republic.
