U4, Honours Political Science with minors in Philosophy and Psychology

My interest in JrP stems from my passion for political science and psychology, linked by my conviction that education shapes the core beliefs and questions we explore as we grow. This year, I am excited to further develop our programs, especially our most recent one on digital literacy. As the world becomes more polarized and extremes rise everywhere, it is crucial to educate the younger generation about the biases in the content they consume online – more specifically on social media – and in news articles. Such a program allows them how to acquire knowledge on how to critically approach the information they encounter in online spaces.
I believe JrP is important because it introduces younger generations to the political structure of the world in ways that differ from their traditional school curriculum. In addition, JrP provides students who are interested in education and academic program development the opportunity to have a direct experience in teaching practices.
I love reading books, though my very specific tastes often annoy librarians. My Favorite place in Montreal is a secret spot on Mont Royal (I will not disclose the location, it is all yours to discover)
