Kate Jackson is a junior in the School of Arts and Sciences Honors Program majoring in History and minoring in Critical Intelligence Studies. Kate’s primary academic interests involve understanding how history continually affects our present with specific interest in the developing views and treatment of the environment. Kate has previously worked with the Network Contagion Research Institute to investigate online extremist movement’s impacts on real world events, which fostered her interest in what action can be taken to mitigate dangerous campaigns. Additionally, this past summer Kate has pursued her interest in the environment at the Environmental Investigations Agency, where she researched crimes across the world against endangered animals and environments. At Rutgers, Kate has enjoyed working as a Writing Tutor at Plangere Writing Center and serving as a mentor for incoming students in the Honors Program, which have allowed her to engage with her peers to make meaningful connections.
