Leigh Gaskin, SRSC 2014
PhD Student,  Washington State University

While it may seem that my interests are far reaching, I feel that one of the best concepts learned through the SRSC is how to dream big, to think about a world where equality and equity thrives and drives a nation, but also to understand how to cope when your goals and vision are not realized. Fortunately, after the program I have an increased ability to understand complex structures that initiated and further systems of oppression within society, government, and beyond. The critical thinking skills amassed during my learning experience and the ability to practice these skills through social change projects have allowed me to flourish professionally.
