Nehtia Hazelwood

Fulbright University of Bristol Summer Institute

Nehtia Hazelwood is a junior from St. Louis, Missouri double majoring in Sociology and Political Science. She believes that studying social justice is about more than the institutions it is about the people and is
passionate about how her work will influence and impact her community.

Nehtia mentors the younger generation and prioritizes building community to ensure equitable access to proper educational and extracurricular resources. As as part of Hanover College’s Social Justice Leadership Program, she is encouraged to examine the world critically and drive meaningful social
change. She hopes the University of Bristol’s Arts, Activism, and Social Justice summer program will bridge her previous knowledge with a deeper understanding of how art intersects with social justice and plays
a significant role in building community. She looks forward to exploring Bristol’s history and culture through artistic practitioners, educators, community leaders, and local cuisine alongside her cohort.

Beyond her studies, Nehtia serves as a 3D Design Studio Assistant in the ceramic’s studio and a First-Year Residential Assistant in the residential halls. In her free time, she can be found reading, playing card games with her friends, or creating a ceramic piece.
