Hi, I’m Claire. I’m a master’s student at Stanford, and I also work at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. I research climate engineering (manipulating the world’s climate to reduce the effects of climate change and otherwise make Earth more habitable). I’d really like to go into government work and this year I’ll be thinking and possibly blogging about what EA policy-making might look like.
I used to write a lot, and I’m interested in how fiction can be used to spur activism and reshape ethical frameworks, especially in young people. I’m also curious about how the relationship between EA and transhumanism, and EA and animal right activism, might evolve in the coming years. I’m interested in how evolution shaped human intuitions about altruism and utilitarianism, and how the EA movement can use or respond to these instincts.
I also do some earning to give on the side, and plan to do much more in the coming years. My not-so-EA activities are hiking (who doesn’t like hiking?), cave-diving and other unusual types of scuba diving, reading (mostly speculative fiction and classics), and painting with watercolors.
