I am going into my second year studying physics and mathematics. I’m interested in the Arctic’s changing climate as well as environmental solutions. My current project is about mapping the trajectory of sea ice in the Last Ice Area. Feel free to reach out - I am always happy to chat!
Hello! My name is Aimar Rosario Ávila and I am a third-year student at Barnard College majoring in Urban Studies with a concentration in psychology and a minor in education. I’m from Puerto Rico and my research aims to investigate how the categorization of social spaces can reflect an interplay of political, historic, and cognitive developments through an intersectional lens.
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.
During my first summer in the Laidlaw Program, I am working with the Columbia Law School's Sabin Center for Climate Change Law to research and provide a series of write-ups to West Harlem Environmental Action Coalition on actions the federal government can take to combat climate change, with a particular focus on efforts that could benefit communities facing environmental injustice.
