- About Me
Sarah Rosenthal graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2014 with dual BA degrees in Russian Area Studies and Global Studies. During that time, she spent over two years in Russia and Europe, specifically studying the historic relationship between national security policies and LGBTQ lives. She has also had opportunities to work and volunteer for a variety of non profit organizations focused on the advancement of human rights, as well as with various community cultural institutions. The pursuit of interdisciplinary education, specifically as a means of advocacy and empowerment within local communities, has always been a priority among her many interests. This is primarily why she chose to begin her graduate study with the Department of History at Georgetown University, now pursing an MA degree in Global, International, and Comparative History. Further, she plans to pursue additional global development and volunteer projects following her graduation before beginning a PhD program.
