Corinne Salter
...belonging in-between and finding a pathway to purpose through identity and culture...
In this episode, we will be interviewing PhD candidate and Marshallese scholar Corinne Salter about her path to education and her life growing up in Louisiana, USA. We explore her struggles with Identity and her adoption story, as she was born in the Marshall Islands in 1999 and adopted by an American family at birth. We also tap into her journey as a “Youth for Nuclear Justice” Fellow and her upcoming role as a PhD candidate at Louisiana State University (LSU).
About Our Guest
Corinne Salter is a PhD candidate at Louisiana State University, studying for her degree in environmental sciences. She was born in the Marshall Islands on Ebeye and was adopted by an American family from Louisiana, where she was raised. She began working at MEI in early 2023 as a Youth for Nuclear Justice fellow, but has more recently joined other projects to help local Marshallese pursue higher education and navigate the American education and financial systems, as well as the expectations associated with them. She graduates this Fall from her PhD program. She plans to continue her career in environmental work with Marshallese communities in the U.S. and back home, as well as with other climate-vulnerable communities. You can check out her podcast, Climate Pelicans’ Brief, which she co-hosts with fellow LSU doctoral student, Jill Tupitza, “as they bridge the gap between the science of climate change and environmental impacts in Louisiana frontline communities.”
