"Hi! My name is Caden and I am so excited to be a UDR for Cast! My studies focus primarily on Black studies, especially Black Feminism, and the ways in which art can be used to bring about collective liberation. My favorite CAST course is Provocative Art (highly recommend!!), and I hope to cultivate collaborations with the CAST department and other departments/student organizations focused on art and liberation, as well as varying the forms of art that are associated with social change. In my free time, I like to write, collage, listen to music, make jewelry, and watch video essays."
My name is Hannah, and I’m majoring in Education and Linguistics with minors in Creativity, the Arts, and Social Transformation (CAST), and Near Eastern and Judaic Studies (NEJS). I really enjoy the Theater aspect of CAST, as in my spare time you can find me in my A Cappella group, or having some sort of involvement in Brandeis Theater, whether it’s as an actor or behind the scenes. The moment I saw the CAST program, I knew that it was something I wanted to become involved with, and I have continued to have constant ideas for the program!
"During sophomore year course registration I was looking for an additional class to add to my schedule when I came across the CAST program. I had never heard of the program before, so I decided to take Introduction to CAST and see how it goes. I immediately loved the topics presented in the course and thought CAST would be a great addition to my already existing Anthropology and FTIM majors, so I decided to add it as a minor. I would love for more students to learn about the CAST program and the amazing opportunities it has to offer."
