Howdy all! My name is Marlee Baron and I\u2019m a sophomore from St Paul, Minnesota. I plan on majoring in something however I do not know what that something will be, and I\u2019m doing a concentration in family studies. Outside of school, I love the outdoors: I was a backpacking camp counselor this summer and I\u2019m a big skier during the winter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To be completely honest, I\u2019m not a very artsy\/artistic person but it\u2019s something I\u2019ve always been interested in and curious about learning more! I\u2019m really excited about this course because I\u2019m interested in American politics and activism and I would love to learn more about connecting those interests to the arts. I chose to take this course because I wanted to expand my horizons and get out of my comfort zone. I\u2019m leaning towards the Race and Ethnic studies major and I know Washington DC has a unique and interesting history with regards to race so I\u2019m excited to be in DC and learn more about that history. I think the intersection of race and the arts will be something interesting to explore; including how people of color have been portrayed in art throughout history and the experiences of artists of color with regards to the government and public funding.<\/span><\/p>\n

I think that my not having very much experience in the arts will give me a unique perspective because I think I\u2019m coming into this experience with very few preconceived ideas. I\u2019m coming in with an open mind and I\u2019m very excited. Although I don\u2019t have artistic experience to offer, I do have some things to offer the group. I love to travel and have a lot of experience navigating new places and trying things that are new to me. I also know that being in a new place means getting out of your comfort zone and making sure you get the most out of this experience and I am definitely ready to do that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
