Theresa Lindberg

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

Theresa Lindberg is a student at Mount Mary University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin studying English, Spanish, Justice, and Peacebuilding where she has received a full ride scholarship for students interested in social justice. On campus she holds several leadership positions including Vice President of the Student Government Association. Outside of school, she is on the board of a nonprofit that fundraises for potable water for indigenous populations in Guatemala, volunteers at the Wauwatosa Health Department, and is interning with a national political advocacy organization.

While at the University of Bristol, Theresa aims to strengthen her education in activism and gain clarity on how she can influence public policy in the United States through studying past movements. This Fulbright will give her the opportunity to integrate learning from the classroom and community to influence meaningful dialogue surrounding social justice change in the United States.

Armed with the skills she has learned at Mount Mary and at the University of Bristol, Theresa hopes to pursue law school and eventually work in public policy, affecting life-giving change for all community members in the United States.
