My name is Emma Haren and I am an art history and political science double major. I am a sophomore at St. Olaf College. I am a trombone player in the Norseman band and a participant in the Sloyd, or Swedish wood carving, club. Both of those things are just hobbies and I will be pursuing a museum career.<\/p>\n
I learned about this course at the open house just a few days after deciding on adding political science to my art history repertoire. It seemed like the perfect intersection. Getting to be in the presence of fantastic collections of art I loved so much through a computer screen and being present for the big government decisions appealed to me. At the time I figured those two fields were pretty separate, but now after the few orientations we\u2019ve had I\u2019m coming to understand how interconnected they are. Obviously funding is a big way they are connected, but I look forward to understanding more about that connection as the month goes on. Going forward in this trip I hope to visit sites and understand how they are possible, how the government has been a help or a hindrance for them and just acknowledge the people who helped make them possible.<\/p>\n
Another big part of my excitement for the trip is just immersing myself in another culture, even though the culture is still a part of the United States. The big city aspect of it will be new for me, but I look forward to completely mastering public transit.<\/p>\n
By the end of this trip, I feel confident that I will have a deeper understanding of how to promote the arts in our world and how advocating for them will make a difference!<\/p>\n
