Maggie is a third- year student majoring in Philosophy with a minor in History. She is interested in utilizing philosophy to explore contemporary subjects, particularly technology and gender. Outside of school Maggie enjoys photography, watching 70s horror movies, and listening to any and all music- she is currently into jazz fusion
Sophie
Sophie is a fourth-year student double majoring in Philosophy and Psychology with a minor in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality studies. This particular combination of disciplines allows them to pursue a holistic investigation of what it means to be a person. They are interested in applying philosophy to contemporary issues such as gender, health, and discrimination. Sophie just finished up their capstone paper titled “Disembodied Selves: The Transgender Experience”, which takes a phenomenological approach in exploring the embodiment of trans people within our culture. Once they graduate, Sophie plans to earn their cosmetology degree and then pursue a master’s in psychology. They believe that philosophy is a neglected part of modern psychology and would love to talk about it to anyone who will listen. As a Levinson Ambassador, they will help out with PHI 250: Logic and be nearby to chat with anyone who has questions about it. In their free time, Sophie enjoys building connections with people, wandering around outdoors, creating with their hands, looking up random books in the library, and then going to find them, hyperfixating on strange things (Chernobyl was a big one), watching video essays, and “customizing their character” (piercings, tattoos, hair stuff). Feel free to stop by to chat with them about life or whatever is on your mind.
Wyatt
Wyatt is a fourth-year student double majoring in Philosophy and Psychology. His philosophical interest is phenomenology, specifically delving into the experience of connectedness and loneliness. As a Philosophy Ambassador, Wyatt will serve as a learning assistant for Dr. Bredlau’s PHI 235 : Biomedical Ethics course. He is also the president of the Philosophy Club. In his free time, he watches far too many movies, crochets, and runs.
