This summer, I have enjoyed getting to do more of what I love while learning new techniques and methods to add to my research repertoire. Working with the economics team has been challenging, since my major is more focused on history and political science with a minor in economics. However, I think this breadth of classroom experience have given me to opportunity to see the value in interdisciplinary research, especially as I have gotten to see the other women in the REU progress alongside the economics team.
