What have you bee up to since graduating from Bowdoin?
Since graduating, 我曾在布鲁金斯学会担任研究分析师,在那里我是Lawfare的副主编, an online national security legal publication based out of Brookings. 我的工作包括编辑法学教授撰写的法律评论和分析文章, current and former government officials, and other national security practitioners to publish on Lawfare. I also write articles, produce a narrative podcast series, and oversee and curate a library of primary source material related to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. After spending the past two years at Lawfare, I’ll soon be starting law school.
Why Government and Legal Studies?
I entered Bowdoin interested in government, 而是在参加了一年级的研讨会和政府与法律研究系的其他课程之后, and getting to know the faculty, I was certain that I wanted to major in Gov. 我被政府和法律研究所吸引,以此来了解我周围的世界:从民主到战争的一切, law to political behavior, as well as the institutions that shape them. The department at Bowdoin offers great breadth and depth in the field, which allowed me to take an array of classes while concentrating in American Politics. My classes were interesting and relevant, and the wonderful professors in the department pushed me to think and write in new ways. Through my coursework, and particularly in pursuing an honors project, 我开始理解法律和公共政策的力量,以及我如何利用它们来创造积极的变化. 我在买球平台的政府和法律课程帮助我建立了一个词汇来谈论我们面临的挑战和我关心的问题, and they gave me a set of tools to address them.
