Abstract

I have been looking forward to this class for several semesters, both as a way to dedicate time to a project I care a lot about and as a culmination of my work in the concentration. At a reflection session our sophomore year, Helen and I realized how much our areas of interest intersected, and started discussing what a project combining our fields could look like. We were aware there was likely significant overlap in material and approaches from education and health fields, and that the intersection of these would be useful in a public health setting. While we first conceptualized this project in 2021, our research process showed that it may be even more relevant today. I think our combined academic backgrounds and work informed a lot of our research and approach, but that working together on the project made it something deeper than we could have individually produced. I am really proud of the work we did, and found the overall process to be productive and a great summary of my work and further learning experience.
