Undergraduate Departmental Representatives
The Undergraduate Departmental Representatives serve as a resource and representative for fellow majors and minors and potential majors and minors, and bring student concerns and/or ideas to the program faculty. They also provide feedback to the program chair, undergraduate advising head, and faculty regarding scheduling problems and course offerings, and help organize events for majors, minors, and other interested students.
Julianna (she/her) is a Junior triple majoring in Anthropology, Hispanic Studies, and Latin American, the Caribbean, and Latinx Studies (LACLS). She is also minoring in International Global Studies (IGS). She’s passionate about Anthropology and is currently leaning towards focusing on archeology, but she still hasn’t made a commitment to a career between archaeology and sociocultural anthropology. She worked during the summer of 2024 with El Museo de Antropologia (the Anthropology Museum) in Mexico City where she identified and photographed artifacts uncovered in Puebla. She’s really passionate about Latinx representation, and social justice. When she’s not working on her studies she likes to crochet, thrift, travel, and craft!
Hannah (she/her) is a senior majoring in anthropology with a sociocultural focus, but has taken classes within all areas of anthropology. She is also pursuing a minor in WGS. She is especially interested in working with older adults, mainly within incarcerated and formerly incarcerated populations, queer communities, and other marginalized groups. She hopes to work in the non-profit sector, and most recently worked for Jews for Racial and Economic Justice. During the Spring 2024 semester, Hannah studied abroad in Chiang Mai, Thailand taking coursework focusing on human rights and sustainable development. In her free time, she loves reading, secondhand shopping, traveling, and being an on campus trivia host!
Hana (she/her) is a senior double majoring in anthropology and HSSP, with a minor in legal studies. While Hana has a particular interest in medical and sociocultural anthropology, she has yet to discover a branch of the field that doesn’t fascinate her. Specifically, she is interested in the study of sexual and reproductive health, particularly in the context of pregnancy and abortion care, kinship structures, syndemics, and rural healthcare. She hopes to work in the public health field, integrating culturally literate approaches to humanitarian response efforts. Most recently, Hana participated in research assessing the impact of anti-diversity legislation on medical education and teaching in the United States. In her free time she enjoys reading, hiking, and videos of raccoons eating grapes.
