As a graduation requirement at Clark University, I was required to complete a capstone research course for my political science major. I chose to take a class on the Politics of Food and Drink, focusing on related policies in the US. At the end of the semester, each student conducted independent research on a related topic of our choosing; and my research was on the inherent racial and ethnic inequalities in experiences of food insecurity. Part of the final research requireement was to give a 15-20 minute presentation on the topic.
