A recent article about the World Cup and national identity in the U.S. on SBNation.com features photos by alum Rebecca Arthur (BFA '18). The series captures protraits of people from immigrant communities supporting their national teams of choice alongside interviews with those same "hyphenated individuals" that explore the connection between identity, nationalism, and the World Cup.
