Hi! My name is Annabel and I’m a senior in Eliot concentrating in Social Studies with a secondary in Environmental Science and Public Policy. Like many first-years, I knew nothing about the Social Studies department when I arrived on campus. I am so excited to have the chance to share my experiences both choosing and participating in Social Studies (aka the best concentration) at Harvard!

I am passionate about the intersection of climate, equality, and culture, and am more than happy to talk about balancing Social Studies with a secondary field, or the range of topics available to study! My favorite thing about Social Studies is the freedom and individuality provided by the department. I love having the ability to create a meaningful focus field within a close-knit community. 

I am always happy to chat about Social Studies, navigating life at Harvard, or anything else! Feel free to reach out.
