Emma Cross is a member of the Class of 2026, majoring in Government and Psychology with a minor in Gender Studies. Her academic work, combined with hands-on leadership experience, has deepened her commitment to feminist political theory and its relevance to contemporary global politics. This fellowship opportunity will serve as the foundation for her Honors Thesis in Political Science, where her analysis of nationalism will extend to its political manifestations in the United States.
On campus, Emma is an active member of the Advocates, a 24-hour sexual assault and stalking hotline. In this role, she helps staff the hotline, prepares training materials, presents at workshops, and provides support and resources to survivors. She also interns with the Office of General Counsel and the Title IX Office, where she applies theoretical frameworks to real-world legal and policy issues.
