This week, I was assigned to help create a Data Project titled "Institution Access and Monitoring Sources." I hope to complete this source by the end of the internship. This task requires me to look at manuals from many sources and regions. More specifically, looking at how manuals speak about monitoring individuals with disabilities. I am excited to begin this project; it will be very informative and useful for future disability rights conversations.
I have been thoroughly enjoying exploring DC. I've spent many hours at the National Gallery of Art most recently and attended a Nationals Baseball Game, being the fifth ballpark I have visited.
I am a rising Junior, pre-law student at Barnard College, Columbia University intending to major in History and minor in Philosophy . My academic interests are civil rights law, ethics, intellectual history, education policy, and disability studies. As a Laidlaw scholar I draw from my academic interests and personal experiences to conduct research on the use of restraint and seclusion in special education. I am eager to use my research experience and education in my future law career to further social equality. For my LiA I am working at Disability Rights International
