Sophie Glenn

Fulbright University of Bristol Summer Institute - Arts, Activism and Social Justice

Sophie Glenn is a rising second-year student from Cincinnati, Ohio, double majoring in English Literary and Cultural Studies and Latin American, Caribbean, Latino/a/x Studies at the University of Cincinnati. As a lifelong nerd, she looks forward to intense study at the University of Bristol’s institute in Arts, Activism, and Social Justice.

Her academic interests include decolonization, ethnic studies, critical theory, and translated literature, and she is overjoyed to apply an interdisciplinary lens to these interests at such a prestigious institution as the University of Bristol. She plans to attend graduate school and have a career as an educator of underserved populations outside of the academic mainstream.

Sophie intends to engage fully with the culture of Bristol by spending her free time visiting its variety of incredible artistic and historical sites. In her free time in Cincinnati, she works with Cincinnati Community Aid and Praxis, a revolutionary mutual aid and political development organization. She is excited to learn from grassroots organizers in Bristol so she may bring their diversity of knowledge back to her beloved Cincinnati community. She knows that her time at the Institute will affirm her belief that hope for the future lies in the study of the past.
