I am a third year student at Harvard Law School with interests in patent and more general intellectual property law. Formerly, I was a physics graduate student in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, from which I graduated with a Ph.D. in 1997. Having been a student at Harvard College before my stay as a graduate student, I am looking forward to completing an even dozen years as a Harvard student this year. I'm Nadine, and I'll be one of the non-resident tutors this year. You can often find me kicking people at the MAC and calling it Taekwondo, trying to find people to discuss horses, Baltimore sports, and my reading list, or wandering around campus.
Distractions are always welcome.
I'm a graduate student in Sociology finishing up a dissertation on racial attitudes. I did about ten months of fieldwork working as a convenience store clerk, picking up lots of useful information about interracial interactions as well as the key components of a well-made slushie. I enjoy playing basketball, softball, football, squash, and mountain biking. I'm a second-year doctoral student in Human Development and Psychology at the Graduate School of Education. After completing my degree, I hope to combine research and policy work on behalf of low-income, urban children.
