Moment of Protest #2

11/18/2015

 
Interview with Maria Doerr (Civil & Environmental Engineering, Class of 2017) on November 17, 2015.

"It is the most engaged we’ve ever felt at Stanford. I went to a teach-in on Black Lives Matter and social justice issues, and we saw how these are connected with environmental issues as well.

[The encampment is] a place that is ripe with intellectual curiosity. These people are challenging the status quo—we aren’t accepting the status quo.

This type of living is curious, directed, and intentional. We are living what we preach, acting what we think.

"It is the most engaged we’ve ever felt at Stanford."
—Maria Doerr '17

A regular Stanford class often feels like mindlessly consuming and memorizing information. This is going a step beyond that.

These ideas are being manifested in a real action. The community of people here—this community feels very real. It doesn’t feel superficial.
