Miranda v Arizona

This term I took a class called Policy. In this class, we talked about how different policies have changed our country and our lives. So far I have really enjoyed this class because it has given me a new perspective on how some aspects of our daily lives are really the way they are because someone somewhere came up with a policy that allows for that aspect and it wasn't random. So far in this class, we have taken multiple FEs but the one that has stood out to me the most has been our trip to Mayor Andre Vasquezes office because we got to talk to him about different policies he wants to implement in his neighborhood and how he chooses those policies with respect to peoples opinions and what he thinks is right. For the final project for this class, we were tasked with analyzing a supreme court case and talking about what we think about it. I hope you enjoy my work.

I dont think the lakefront is for a select few. Do you?

I took a class this term called Urban Planning. In this class, we have talked about how cities are planned, built, and run. This class has inspired me to take a different approach to looking at cities and how they are laid out, and to understand that there is always a reason for why something is where it is even if it's not obvious. In this class, we have taken a couple Field Experiences to a few different places but the one that stuck out to me the most was when we went to the Pedway system in downtown Chicago. This FE stuck out to me because I never understood how expansive they were and it was really interesting to see something new somewhere I visit often. For the final action project in this class, we were tasked with redesigning an area that we thought could use a makeover. I chose DuSable Park, another downtown location and make a few adjustments. I hope you find them interesting!
