Lauren Alexes Kirkpatrick is a sophomore in Mather, concentrating in philosophy with a secondary in government. The ironically unjust nature of our justice system is at the heart of her interest in ethics. She believes that there is an inseparability between the law and ethics, an inseparability she owes her life to investigating. Outside of class, she is a writing tutor at the Harvard College Writing Center, and she is a member of The Harvard Crimson’s editorial board. She enjoys listening to NPR Tiny Desk Concerts while propagating her houseplants.
