My name is Neilly Rose and I am a first year student in the Humanities Program at Davidson College. I am from Wellfleet, MA, located near the tip of Cape Cod.

Portfolio
This portfolio is a sample my work from the full year of the Humanities Program at Davidson College. This was a 3 credit, one year program that included various study trips, culminating in a trip to a revolutionary city over spring break. During the past 8 units, I have studied various authors and revolutions including:
Dr Martin Luther King’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” and the Civil Rights Movement
Copernicus and the Copernican Revolution through Kuhn’s The Copernican Revolution
Witnessing evil through Paul Gourevitch’s We wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed with our families, Hannah Arendt’s The Banality of Evil, and Susan Sontag’s Regarding the Pain of Other
Interpreting the works of Paul Celan through the lense of Jacques Derrida
The intersection of art and science through Dr Eric Kandel’s Reductionism in Art and Brain Science: Bridging the Two Cultures
Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s Demon’s
The effects of colonialism through various authors
The revolutionary violence of the Red Army Faction and Ulrike Meinhof
