About Kate Rodger
Hello! I am a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences at Cornell University. I study cognitive science, with broad interests in data science and across the social sciences.
As a Laidlaw scholar, I am working on a transdisciplinary project dealing with the impacts of Indonesia's national capital city relocation from Jakarta to Nusantara. Through the K. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics, I study human and "more-than-human" communities in East Kalimantan and how they are affected by Nusantara's construction. In the summer of 2025, I traveled onsite for my LiA to work directly with community partners at Mulawarman University and led the development of materials preserving the ecological and cultural heritage of this area amidst transformative change.
Outside of academics and research, you can find me canoeing on Cayuga Lake, leading campus tours, and making collages.
Please feel free to reach out to me here or at kcr53@cornell.edu!
