Junior at Cornell University | Laidlaw Scholar | Robert S. Harrison College Scholar
Hello! I'm a junior at Cornell University triple majoring in Government, Philosophy, and the College Scholar Program, a program in which students design their own majors around a research project. My project asks whether people on the political left and right mean different things when they use the same terms ("nationalism," "socialism," "assimilation," "equality.," "equity," etc.). I am interested in government, international affairs, ideology, and why people believe what they believe.
