Currently a senior in Gallatin, I am developing a concentration in human rights and minoring in gender and sexuality. I am particularly invested in studying the intersection of human rights and urban development. Having previously done ‘right to the city’ work in Brazil as a Gallatin Global Human Rights Fellow, I am continuing on this summer to work at the Right to the City Alliance in New York as a Gallatin Global Fellow in Urban Practice. At Right to the City, I will primarily be doing research for a paper about alternative housing models and community control, as well as helping organize some major upcoming events. As a human rights activist and scholar, I am incredibly excited to spend this summer as a part of mass-based, bottom-up formation led by people of color, immigrants, and working class communities that has been at the forefront of the struggles against gentrification, displacement and police terror in US cities.
