Hi! I'm Emma and I'm a junior on the Dartmouth Triathlon Team. I love walks around Occom Pond in the fall, browsing books of poetry at the Dartmouth Bookstore, and drinking tea at Dirt Cowboy. Some of my favorite things are astrology, tattoos, vintage denim, and vegetarian food. I'm passionate about feminism and social justice, and I am part of several sexual violence prevention/response groups on campus. My favorite foods are Ramunto's pizza and Ben & Jerry's Half Baked ice cream.
This class looked at food from every possible angle: agriculture, regulation/policy, marketing,
nutrition, animal rights, and much more. This class drastically changed the way I think about
food and where it comes from.
Professor Ayubi is one of the best professors in the WGST department and led an incredible
class on themes of gender/sexuality in Islam. Even those not interested in religion as a major
couldn't help but be fascinated in this class.
SpringOff Campus
For most of the summer I worked at a day camp, but the most important part of my summer
was the weeks I spent in Haiti, visiting the little boy I hope to adopt at the orphanage where he
lives. It is and has been the highlight of my last 4 summers.
Drawing I is an opportunity for students without much experience in the visual arts to get
comfortable in the studio. It's time consuming, but a great creative outlet, and the results at the
end of the term are worth it.
The focus on both global current events and Dartmouth-specific feminist issues covered in this class made for an engaging curriculum for both newcomers and veterans to the WGSS department.
This class takes a closer look at militarization and it's effects on gendered violence around the world in the context of the American attempt to declare a "War on Terror."
Finals approach. Stress is in the air. Good spots in the library are becoming more and more difficult to come by, and KAF lines seem to stretch for miles. What you need is a playlist to help you tune out of the stressful surroundings and tune in to your studies. Here are my best recommendations for study music (warning: genres may vary).
Dawn - Dario Marianelli (or the entire Pride and Prejudice soundtrack)
While I'm Alive - STRFKR
Four Seasons - Vivaldi
Twenty Miles - Deer Tick
Time - Hans Zimmer
Deadbeat Summer - Neon Indian
New Theory - Washed Out
Color Green - New Politics
Soon It Will Be Cold Enough to Build Fires - Empancipator
Swan Lake - Tchaikovsky
When it Rains it Pours - Twiddle
In Your Arms - Chef'Special
Renegades - X Ambassadors
Spirits - The Strumbellas
Human - Rag n' Bone Man
While I'm Alive by STRFKR has a pretty cool album cover. Aesthetics are important.
Highly recommend the Pride & Prejudice Soundtrack for classical fans!
