Hi everyone, my name is Julia (she/hers) and I’m a big, bad senior this year! I’m an environmental studies major with a concentration in political/societal interactions.
Home for me currently is a little town just 45 minutes away from campus. My second home is back in rural New Hampshire, where I was raised. And without being too corny, you could say my third home is the Philadelphia Skating Club and Humane Society, which is neighboring Haverford’s campus. I’ve been a competitive figure skater (freestyle then pairs) there for 10+ years and feel right at home when I’m there!
I am very interested in the Cold War era and the Soviet Union. The art produced during that time (cinema, dance, painting) is full of meaning and emotion, and I’m so excited to delve deeper into it! I think I may also know what my research project will be about... :)
