My name is Ruth Lopez. I was born in Puerto Rico, but have lived for the majority of my life in New York, and now find myself in Binghamton. At the moment, I am a sophomore and an English/Rhetoric and Global Cultures major, minoring in Global Studies, Political Science, and possibly Italian. Also, I am the Treasurer of the new undergraduate chapter of a graduate student organization, the Indigenous Student Association and a Binghamton University Student Ambassador. :) Aside from academics, I am very interested in social activism, and community organizing. I have participated in anti-war, school budget-cuts, immigration rights, and human rights protests. Painting, learning Italian, writing poetry, and amateur photography are a big part of my life when I have free time. I haven't really had the opportunity to travel very much, but I am planning to study abroad in Turkey next summer, and am considering joining the Peace Corps for some time after graduating. I want to see as much of the world we live as I possibly can before settling into a stable career.
This course I know will be quite interesting, it's going to put many aspects of the world as I know it, as we all know it, through the media into close perspective. It's always pretty exciting when one becomes more globally aware.
