Reese Taylor

Research Scholar, Barnard College, Columbia University

Reese Taylor is a rising junior majoring in Philosophy, History, and Human Rights on a pre-law track. As a Laidlaw Scholar, she spent her first summer researching the role of labor in the economic and social uplift of Black Americans in the wake of Reconstruction. She was selected to present this research at Johns Hopkins University, The University of Pennsylvania, and the Global Laidlaw Scholars Conference. In her second summer, Reese founded The Voices in Action Initiative which is a program developed to empower and mobilize youth voices by providing them skills and practice in speech and debate. She enacted the program in Nassau, Bahamas with sponsorship from both the Laidlaw Foundation and The Kiwanis Club of Nassau.
Noel Ullom

Research Scholar, Barnard College, Columbia University

Hi everyone! My name is Noel Ullom and I am a student at Barnard College studying Political Science and Theatre. While I am more generally fascinated by the fields of political theory, metaphysics, and theatre, I am interested in researching the influence of contrasting philosophies around free will on the queer liberation movement in Italy for my Laidlaw project. I would love to connect with you all!
Emily Shami Sher

Student, Barnard College

I am a computer science and sociology student at Barnard College. I am particularly interested in the intersection of these subjects, researching how surveillance technologies affect specific communities throughout New York City. I want to explore the ways that surveillance technologies affect community members' perceptions of safety, trust, and belonging.
