Hi! My name is Avery Azad, and I am a student at Northwestern University double majoring in Anthropology and International Studies. I had lived in LA for my entire life before moving to Evanston. In the Anthropology major I am in the cultural subfield. Concentrating in a specific subfield of Anthropology has helped me in my role as a undergraduate researcher both at my previous college before transferring to Northwestern and as an archaeological site steward in partnership with the California Archaeological Site Stewardship Program. There, I document archaeological sites, map field conditions, and compile digital records and written reports. At Northwestern, I am also part of Ethics Bowl. In club meetings, we analyze complex ethical dilemmas from multiple perspective and moral frameworks. I am excited to attend competitive debates next month!
Outside of academics, I’m passionate about discovering new things, whether it be books, films, or places I've never been before. I enjoy watching movies, especially when it comes to action or mystery genres. I am a big fan of Stranger Things and Avatar which have new releases coming soon!
One of my favorite things about being in Evanston is exploring the coffee shops downtown. I love finding new spots to study and sip an iced latte (preferably pumpkin spice for the fall)! Recently, I’ve also gotten back into playing chess, which has been a fun challenge.
