Alumni Spotlight: Alexandra Gustafson, MA’18
University of Toronto
Alex Gustafson is officially ABD and has begun her dissertation on the phenomenology of romantic love. But she has also taken time to consider ways of supporting her fellow grad students. As a member of the Graduate Philosophy Student Union, Alex has helped create and maintain the GPSU Mental Health & Disability (MH&D) Caucus. Here is a recent news story about the Caucus.
Alexandra writes,
"This semester I also helped found and am co-chair of the department's Mental Health & Disability Caucus, aimed at providing community and support to philosophy graduate students experiencing mental or physical health difficulties. We also host (well-attended!) outreach events for the philosophy undergraduate population."
