Class of 2017 | DS websiteHi, I'm Marielle! A graduate of the class of 2017 at Lewis and Clark college, where I double majored in both Environmental Studies and Studio Art. Though at first these two things may seem a stretch to relate, I enjoyed the opportunity to explore both programs (which I loved!) separately as well as relatedly. My capstone project, Art for the Anthropocene successfully allowed me to bridge these two subjects in ways which were both scholarly and artistic, and overall, the project was greater than just the sum of its different parts. I know that this will leave a lasting impact on the ways in which I view the world as well as my scholarly and artistic inspiration moving forward. Though there may be more school or "real" jobs out there eventually, for now I look forward to my time after college in order to create delicious feasts, play with my pets, and hit the hiking trails! |

This entails approaching an issue in a way that incorporates synthesis of multiple views and a full understanding of what is actually happening before asking what can be done. This is a … |
Whenever I tell people outside of Lewis & Clark that I’m majoring in environmental studies, I typically get a reaction along the lines of, “Great! We need people like you to help the planet!” or the slightly more critical, “Wow, you’re so idealistic!” These responses are interesting because they both assume (to a certain degree anyway) that I chose this … |
