Class of 2016 | DS website

I double majored in environmental studies and Hispanic studies at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, OR, graduating May 2016. I wrote an honors thesis for environmental studies surrounding how students experience sense of place at Lewis & Clark, and what role familiarity with physical landscape and climate play in students' experiences transitioning to college.

The Best of Times and the Worst of Times: Struggling to Complicate Environmentalism | June 6, 2016

This past Monday, I began my internship at Environment Oregon, Oregon’s largest environmental non-profit. I imagine this sentence will set off many red flags for anyone involved in the ENVS Program at Lewis and Clark; after all, the name practically oozes classical environmentalism and oversimplification.

The options for what students can study are limitless, as are their outcomes: some produce a thesis (see here for spring 2017 honors theses), while others produce alternative outcomes. As two examples of the latter, Marielle Bossio and Kara Scherer audaciously push the boundaries […]

Digital Scholarship Websites: A Scholarly Journal

Designing and creating a scholarly website is a skill that environmental studies majors are taught during their second semester in the program. It can be tedious and difficult to constantly work on and baby the site to meet professional expectations. Three ENVS class of 2017 seniors, Marielle Bossio, Perri Pond, and Kara Sherer, have gone the […]

Grass and Concrete: Built Environments Overseas

Does the phrase “built environment” strike you as odd? When thinking about the word “environment,” does your brain conjure up images of sweeping meadows and lush green forests? Consider this: Cities provide a habitat, of sorts, for billions of people worldwide. Many different species live in and interact with human-built spaces, just as many different […]
