Hello!
My name is Lainey Segel and this is a website designed to showcase my Capstone Project for the Writing in Minor. I enjoyed this course, and entire program, because it gave me a chance to experiment with all types of writing. As a political science major I am used to writing research papers with a thesis. This program gave me the chance to deliberatively explore new genres and get feedback from dozens of bright minds.
​
​
This project was particularly important to me because it allowed me to take my feminist views and write about them with a creative spin. I have spent a lot of my college career registering voters and advocating for liberal causes. It is easy to explore these ideas in the political science sense- with data and numbers. This medium allowed me to push that boundary of familiarity into the unknown.
​
A bit about me- I have a lot to be thankful for. I am from Boston, Massachusetts, but have lived in Washington DC, Madrid, and New Hampshire. I love to travel, eat, meet all kinds of people and celebrate half birthdays (as shown on the left).
​
I hope you enjoy this website, the concept, the layout and the story, as much as I do!
