你选择历史专业的动机是什么?
历史课一直吸引着我. 作为第一代大学生, 起初,我对主修历史犹豫不决, 担心这事关系到我的未来, 尤其是考虑到法学院. My perspective shifted after taking Professor Alex和ra Puerto's 课程 流动中的健康:移民和难民的复原力 和 迈克尔·加斯珀教授的 课程 P和ora's Box: 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan, 和 the United States. These classes were pivotal in steering me towards a 历史 major. Health on the Move intertwined my interests in 历史, 劳动的研究, 和法律, highlighting the health disparities faced by migrant farm workers, 这是美国的一个结果.S. 仅仅把他们视为廉价劳动力. 在《十大正规网赌平台》一书中,加斯珀教授鼓励我们更批判性地思考美国经济.S.'s involvement in the Middle East, prompting us to question the nature of U.S. 并探索更广泛的主题,帝国,国家地位,和国家认同在美国和美国.S. 以及中东地区. Both of these 课程s not only honed my 批判性思维 skills but also provided an intellectual engagement I hadn't found in any other department. 加斯珀教授成为我的导师,而波多教授则监督我2023年的暑期研究. In learning more ab出 the law school application process, 我了解到分数, 写作能力, 批判性思维能力是最重要的, 无论专业如何. 我真的很高兴我选择了历史, a field that challenges me intellectually 和 keeps me captivated. 这个决定也让我深入探索了我在大学期间发展起来的新兴趣.

Can you describe your working relationship with 历史 professors?
所有的历史教授都很棒! 他们总是准备好见面,无论是聊聊学术问题还是个人问题. 历史 professors genuinely care ab出 you 和 your wellbeing. 对他们来说, you're more than just a student; you're a person who might face struggles, 他们致力于确保你走在正确的道路上,在所有课程中取得成功. I've worked closely with Professor Gasper 和 Professor Puerto 和 they've both pushed me 和 helped me achieve goals I never 虽然t would be possible on my own. 与此同时,他们确保我照顾好自己,不会走向倦怠. 尽管十大正规网赌平台的历史教授是我见过的最苛刻的学生之一, 很明显,他们真的希望你成功. 历史论文得A证明你有能力完成任何写作任务. 我珍惜向他学习的机会 洪珍教授 在她的 美国文化与社会 class. She inspired me to share my insight on the material we covered, validating its importance; by the end of the semester, 我的信心明显增强了. Her encouragement significantly increased my comfort level in staying in a field where women are notably underrepresented.

Do you have any advice for a student considering a major in 历史?
首先,如果你还没有上过课,那就去上吧. 除非你去尝试,否则你永远不会知道它是否适合你! If you've already taken a class but are still undecided, 我建议和学长谈谈他们作为历史专业学生的经历. 我和十大正规网赌平台23届Alumni安德烈兹·帕拉聊了聊我的优柔寡断和对选错专业的恐惧. 他告诉我,当他意识到自己有足够的学分来证明这个专业的合理性时,他几乎是偶然地选择了历史专业. 这让我检查了自己的课程计数, 令我吃惊的是, I was already more than halfway through the requirements. If you're still unsure, talking to a professor can help. Share your concerns or ask why you might hesitate to choose 历史. They're incredibly underst和ing 和 will gladly address your questions. 记住,无论你最后选择什么专业,每个人都会为你感到骄傲.
Have you taken part in any student research opportunities at Oxy or elsewhere?
In the summer of 2023, I participated in a research 项目 through Occidental’s 本科生研究中心在波多教授的指导下. 我调查了墨西哥政府在布雷塞罗计划时期对其公民的责任. 我认为,墨西哥政府希望与美国建立外交关系.S., 努力促进经济增长, 和 pursuit of racial modernization through 这 program unfortunately resulted in the neglect of its citizens' well-being. 这是我第一次做暑期研究, 老实说, 我完全不知道自己陷入了怎样的境地. 但这是令人难以置信的满足. 我学会了浏览特殊收藏和寻找一手和二手材料的技巧. The entire journey sparked my curiosity for exploring more research avenues. 今年夏天, 我将在司法部实习, 在那里我将与一群历史学家合作为人权起诉部门进行研究. 想要深入了解HRSP的历史,请点击 这 出!

Can you describe your working relationships with 历史 professors? 你上过什么优秀的课程吗?
Every 历史 class I have taken at Oxy has been punctuated by professors who are highly invested in their students 和 their academic development, 创造了充满活力和吸引力的课堂吗, 把我赶出了自己的舒适区. Oxy的许多历史学教授教授其他学科的课程, 和 they carry that breadth of experience into every lecture, 这让我重新思考如何研究历史.
Liberal arts gave me the freedom to experiment academically, 和 that freedom allowed me to form connections between distinct areas of study I am passionate ab出 which let me imagine how I could combine those interests to shape my future.
你毕业后的抱负是什么?文科课程是如何帮助你塑造这些抱负的?
Liberal arts gave me the freedom to experiment academically, 和 that freedom allowed me to form connections between distinct areas of study I am passionate ab出 which let me imagine how I could combine those interests to shape my future. After Oxy I see myself taking time off to build working skills that complement academic knowledge 和 then pursuing a degree in environmental law or public humanities.
历史系的“氛围”是什么?
如果奥施康定是PBS,我们就是芝麻街了.

诚实, 我上大学想学人类学, but 历史 was the closest thing they had at Occidental. 幸运的是, a lot of the classes at Oxy are pretty interdisciplinary 和 some of the studies I've read use anthropological methods.

我想说我和历史学教授关系很好,总的来说,我喜欢这个系. You can tell that every professor is very passionate ab出 what they do, 和 each professor in the department has their quirks 和 unique teaching style. I would definitely recommend taking at least one class with 迈克尔廉价香烟教授 because it will change the way you look at the world. 所有的教授都很棒, 虽然, 和 everything I learn in class feels super relevant to the contemporary world.
I think my liberal arts education has put me in a position where I can be very flexible ab出 what industry I go into, 在这个瞬息万变的就业市场,哪一个是好事.
What do you find most compelling ab出 studying 历史?
