Rachael Strickler is a third year student at Hampshire College.This will be her second year as one of CLPP’s Student Group coordinators. Being part of CLPP has been a life-changing experience for her in all of the best ways possible. It has been a whirlwind of incredible opportunities to learn, explore, and act. She hopes to provide others with experiences similar to her own and to ensure everyone, from student group members to conference speakers, not only has a positive experience but also an empowering one in an atmosphere explicitly intended to fight oppressions and encourage growth. In her academic and personal ventures she hopes to learn what can be done to work towards and achieve positive and sustainable social change. In her studies, Rachael critically analyzes issues of injustice and oppression using a reproductive justice lens as her guide and focusing on the carceral state.
