An unexpected passion

Erin was drawn to ����2024�µس�һ�� by the flexibility of the Arts and Science program, as it allowed her to more freely explore her passions and study multiple disciplines. She entered university thinking she would pursue Psychology, but ultimately discovered an interest in Linguistics.

The do-it-all student

Outside of her studies, you can find Erin leading a tour to prospective students around campus, working the front desk of the Office of Student Recruitment, mentoring other international students at the Centre for International Experience (CIE), fulfilling her duties as Social Events Coordinator for the Society of Linguistics Undergraduate Students (SLUGS), or participating in community and campus theatre.

Interdisciplinary courses

One of Erin’s favourite parts of her studies is how interdisciplinary the courses are. Courses for her Drama major like “DRM360 - Race, Gender & Performance” and “DRM388 - Dancing Black in Canada,” provided a critical sociological lens on broader themes in theater. In the latter class, taught by a professor who was a pioneer in the field of Black dance in Canada, students analyzed race relations through dance. By exploring where Black music and dance historically was and wasn’t allowed, through a lens of sociology and anthropology, students gained a deeper and more nuanced understanding of all groups in theatrical history.
