I am an English major with an elective focus in nook studies and a strong knowledge of women writers. I have also explored photography blogging, performance art and video editing, and am skilled at navigating social media. I have volunteer experience making infographics. Outside of school, I have explored my ambitions by co-founding a high school feminism club, joining feminist book clubs, being asked to write an article for a feminist website, and having a photo exhibited in a gallery.
I’m currently working on self-designed photography and curation research, as well as writing for my school newspaper and actively participating in activities with the Cambridge women’s center, learning a great deal about wellness, artistic expression and communication skills affecting women and non-binary people. Aside from my main interest in exploring literary studies and education, I’m also interested in exploring activities like book design, bookbinding, papermaking, publishing, printmaking and library archival work. I have largely found my voice through feminist debates and discussions, performing my poetry at open mics, and volunteer work, both for charities and for nonprofit educational businesses. As a remote creative writing student living at home and considering applying to graduate school for photography, I’m looking to gain experience and dependency my knowledge of photography, art history, visual culture, museum studies, display politics and curation.

Cate is currently in her second year of a History degree at the University of Cambridge. Her studies focus on the early modern period in Britain and Europe but my most recent paper has been about world history and empires before 1914 which has been so rewarding! My studies have included various topics but my favourites are always those related to gender; I will soon be starting a dissertation on the topic of fashion and masculinity throughout the lifecycle. I run my college’s history society with my friend putting on talks and social events for the other history students. In my free time I enjoy music and have played the flute for over ten years now. A previous internship I completed was with Girl Museum. I am looking to continue my historical studies and hopefully one day I can go on to become a curator myself!

Hi! My name is Ca and I am an international student from Vietnam at the University of South Florida. Currently, I am pursuing a dual degree in Statistics and Public Health with aspirations of working in the field of biostatistics in the future. I learned about the Museum of Motherhood through the Reproductive Health, Rights and Justice class instructed by Dr. Singh and was inspired by the work the Museum has and continues to engage in. As an intern, I intend to create blog posts sharing activities which people have relied on to nurture and care for themselves, along with the lessons we can learn from each activity. I am truly excited to embark on this project and I hope to contribute as much as I can to MOM.

Carla Ferris - I am a student who is pursuing a Master’s degree in Public History. This is through an online University named American Public University Systems. I hope to complete a final internship class in my fourth academic year. In these history studies, I was attracted to the Museum exhibit’s designs, research skills, and archival skills. I have always had an interest Indigenous lifestyle. Since Chumash tribe’s encounters are brief, the Indigenous information shared with Mother’s museum will come from extensive research.
I have reflected on the youthful Californian Yosemite ten-day hiking moments filled with nature’s beauty. This is when a desire started to research Indigenous tribes in California. The picture represents a land preservation project for History, Theories, and Contemporary Issues in Historic Preservation class for the History Dept. at American Public University Systems. This project inspired a desire to learn about Eco botany, which is the study of native plants.  The Mother’s Museum is a great place to begin researching Indigenous Mother’s caretaking roles, food gathering practices from the 1800’s to the present. After a short ecofeminism study, the ecofeminism’s lens will be used to provide insights for this narrative photo essay.
