My name is Sophie Aanerud and I will be beginning my sophomore year at the University of Washington in the fall of 2017. I am hoping to double major in English and Political Science. These two majors represent my passions for writing, learning about the world and understanding conflicts, and hearing the stories of others. I applied to this program in Berlin because I felt that it served as a perfect intersection of my interests while also providing for me the opportunity to lend myself (in whatever small way possible) to meaningful efforts regarding the current refugee crisis. I have spent the last year studying Arabic (though my skills still remain quite meager) and have also studied in broad the ways in which race, class, gender, and many other identities intersect; this research has especially touched on the roles which my privilege plays on my own life. I hope to access these studies while serving in Berlin and beyond.
