Hi there, art student and web2.0 enthusiast/dilettante and political dabbler here in her last year of undergrad. I'm presently working on my distinction portfolio (the equivalent of a traditional 'academic thesis') as well as pursuing independent research into how new media/social media tools can be harnessed to catalyze, amplify and sustain positive change.

A bit o' auto-biography and personal philosophy (still in progress, of course):

My undergraduate career thus far has been an eclectic mix of sampled classes: Moral philosophy, Kantian Aesthetics, Painting, Drawing, Webdesign... Cultural Anthropology, Cognitive psychology, Chinese politics and French language (just to name a few). At first blush, a clear track record of a monkey mind unable to "settle" upon a chosen discipline.

However.

I find that it is precisely within the spaces between these (seemingly) disparate disciplines that my passion lies. I am, you see, that happy baby whale splashing in the increasingly widening waters of interdisciplinarity. I've not yet ventured very far into the realm of sciences... but given some time... I'm swimming like mad.
