Avigail spent her first Laidlaw summer researching solar grids in Kenya, and will spend her second Laidlaw summer on the ground working on sustainable development initiatives in Tanzania. Her interest in both international relations and climate change adaptation in under-developed areas led her to pursue work on sustainable development in East Africa from both an international policy perspective and a logistical/local perspective.
Hi everyone! I'm a rising junior at Barnard College of Columbia University, where I am double majoring in Political Science and Human Rights, and minoring in French. This summer I'm researching about art reinstitution and its ethical and legal components. Some of my other interests include social work, human rights, and law. Please feel free to reach me at cd3442@barnard.edu
