Howdy!
My name is Laura, and I am a member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2016, A-Whoop! I was raised in a military family, so I learned pretty quickly how to adapt to new environments. My education has always been important to me, and it created a basis for my understanding of Reproductive Justice. In my free time, I read as much as I can and catch up on my favorite shows. In 2014, I officially joined a student activist group and got involved in reproductive health and rights work.
​
My academic and professional interests include:
-Reproductive Justice and human rights activism
-Women’s rights & queer rights (feminist pedagogy, combating sexual violence/military sexual trauma, ending abortion stigma, comprehensive sex & consent education, polyamory)
-Veteran mental health and female veterans
-Psychological warfare (serial killers and genocide)
-Perceptions of reality and ethics
Biography
Here's a list of questions I am currently interested in:
-What does Reproductive Justice look like? Who is it for? Who should it be centered on?
​
-How can different groups address and end rape culture in the United States and abroad?
​
-How can different groups make abortion more accessible?
​
-Who should control education (e.g. sex & consent education): states or the federal government?
​
-How can social movements make activism more accessible (e.g. ‘flextime activism’)?
​
-How can schools teach community organizing skills or activism as a form of legitimate political participation? What are the best avenues for mandating this type of instruction?
