I am a rising senior at Barnard studying history, concentrating on the history of empires and colonialism with specific interest in food history. I research how people, culture, and the environment interact through food.
I am a third-year student at Barnard College majoring in American Studies and WGSS. My research aims to explore the impact of anti-trans legislation on internal migration within the United States.
A fourth-year student of Political Science and Economics at Trinity College Dublin, interested in European affairs, public policy and democratic promotion.
During my first summer with the Laidlaw programme, I completed a research project titled 'The Role of Saliency in Expatriate Voter Mobilisation'. My research investigated the voting behaviours of expatriate voters in Poland, France and the Czech Republic.
During my second summer, I completed a leadership placement with the Jerzy Regulski Foundation in Support of Local Democracy in Warsaw, where I worked in organising the first National Congress of Local Cooperation for civic society organisations and local government representatives.
I am a Laidlaw Undergraduate Leadership and Research Scholar at Columbia University studying in English and philosophy. My research interests include, broadly, Anglo-American fiction (C19-present), theory of the novel (late C19-present), narratology, and (the literature of) electronic media. I am particularly interested in the problem of narrative form in the digital age.
My Laidlaw experience focuses on reframing the tourism industry to center the environment. In my first year, I developed a map of NYC's ecotourism, focused on environmental justice, circularity, and emissions reduction. In my second year in Santiago, Chile, I have collaborated with FEDETUR, the federation of tourism enterprises of Chile, to develop materials for tourism businesses to reduce their carbon footprint.
I'm an undergraduate from Mexico City interested in development economics, particularly as it pertains to indigenous groups and land management. Using the work of Elinor Ostrom as a framework, my research focuses on common-pool resource ownership in indigenous communities in Central Mexico, particularly in Cuetzalan, Puebla. I also work in radio and I'm really passionate about the audio form—be it radio or podcasts—as a way to transmit narratives and information.
