September 2024 – October 2024
As a Co-Moderator for UCSC’s 2024 U.S. Elections Forum Series, hosted by the Institute for Social Transformation, I worked alongside renowned UCSC professors and national scholars to lead discussions on media literacy, identity, and politics during this pivotal election season. Each webinar attracted nearly 500 Zoom attendees, with additional participation through in-person screenings and group watch parties—including over 100 students at UCSC. The series also featured a voter registration booth at the in-person event, giving students an opportunity to register and learn more about the voting process. Preparing for each session was rewarding, and the level of engagement from students and community members stressed the importance of these discussions.
