Lara coordinates publications, social media, and cross-organizational communications to connect the Forum's research and initiatives with broader audiences.2:00 pm – 3:30 pm CET/GMT+1
Lara graduated from Bard College Berlin in 2024 with a dual Bachelor’s degree in Humanities, the Arts, and Social Thought, majoring in Ethics and Politics. She is currently pursuing a Master's in Mind and Brain at Humboldt University of Berlin, where she explores the intersection of neuroscience and philosophy of mind, with particular interest in how people interpret reality differently and what shapes their political worldviews. This research deeply informs her communications work on bridging divides and fostering belonging.
During her talk followed by a Q&A, Lara will reflect on her post-college trajectory and how liberal arts education prepared her for her current career.
This Alumni Talk takes place in the framework of IS331 Berlin Internship Seminar.
