My senior thesis at the University of Vermont, Transcending Boundaries, compared the effects of climate change on human and bird migration. The theme of transcending boundaries originated with the visual of birds flying unobstructedly through national and state borders during migration. This image contrasts the various barriers humans experience in their migration, as they are halted with social and political structures. Removed from these structures, these boundaries are merely hand drawn lines on a map. My work aims to transcend the boundaries between natural science and social science with an interdisciplinary exploration of avian and human migration. Climate change knows no boundaries, and its effects must be studied with a multi-species lens in order to create a just and resilient world.
