SHASS Senior Gallery Profile: Q&A with Lauren Higgins
Lauren Higgins featured by the MIT School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences in their 2026 Senior Gallery.
"What I’ve enjoyed most about studying political science is understanding both the challenges and opportunities that come with political decision-making. There’s a lot of things wrong with the world right now, but I believe that law and public policy have the power to make meaningful change in the lives of individual people. It’s important to understand how this change is enacted—or, in many cases, how it is not."
