2011-2012 Undergraduate Departmental Representatives

Tali Smookler '13 

My name is Tali Smookler, and I am a senior majoring in Sociology and Economics. On campus I am involved with The Justice and helped start the Brandeis Quidditch team a few years ago. I am active with Students for Environmental Action, am an Eco-Rep, and work with a state-wide climate activist group, Students for a Just and Stable Future, through which I participated on a program called Climate Summer where I helped build the climate movement in Massachusetts. This past summer I worked at the EPA this summer. In Spring 2012 I studied abroad in Ghana for 5 months, which was an incredible experience. In all my work, including my environmental activism and my studies abroad, using the sociological lens I have gained from my classes has enhanced my understanding of my environment and has given me analytical tools that have proven useful both practically and otherwise. I am excited to be UDR for Sociology this semester (in addition to a sociology TA), so please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions about sociology! Contact me at tsmook@brandeis.edu

Sarah Zoloth '14 

 I’m a junior, majoring in Sociology and newly in Health, Science, and Social Policy. I love everything about Brandeis’s sociology program, but particularly love the studies of gender, medicalization, and pop culture. On campus, I’m involved with Trisk and have been tutoring with Waltham Group’s TIPS in my time at Brandeis. Outside of school, I am also a huge proponent of many social justice efforts and try to keep up with them. In my free time, I try to stay on top of lots of aspects of culture and am usually at a concert, show, or reading a book. I look forward to helping you get what can serve you best from our program and hope that I’ll make some positive changes in my time as UDR. Contact me at szoloth@brandeis.edu
