Emma Pellegrini is a contributing writer at the Her Campus Chapter at The University of Colorado Boulder. She enjoys writing about topics such as relationships, sexual assault/violence, feminism, politics, and music.
At CU Boulder, Emma is a junior majoring in Art History, with a minor in English Literature. Specifically, She loves the little details and historical contexts of art, as well as the symbolism of tiny details. Her love for English Lit stems back to her childhood, when Emma could not get enough of reading, often finishing five books a week, finding the characters refreshing and comforting, the ideal companion for the agonies of youth. Emma's favorite art period is Medieval art and her research for her honors thesis will focus on viewing mythological and or paranormal creatures in Medieval illuminated manuscripts through a social justice lens and how such creatures represented prejudiced ideologies. After graduation, Emma hopes to pursue a Master's in History to become a historian and or a teaching certificate to become a Waldorf history or theater teacher!
In her free time, Emma enjoys ghosthunting, watching paranormal investigative TV shows, reading historical romance novels, taking long walks around her neighborhood, writing, playing her violin and guitar, spending time with her family and friends, and talking for hours on the phone with her grandma.
