Protest Lab Members

Sierra (LC '15) was an English and Psychology double major from Bainbridge Island, Washington. After taking Dr. Leonard's Social Psychology class her sophomore year, she was eager to take part in the lab in order to engage in further dialogue about emotions and how they influence every day experiences, how we make decisions, and prompt us to create change. She worked on team Protest for four semesters, helping to run studies that examined the role of emotion and appraisals in collective action responses to two types of disadvantage: structural and incidental. Sierra enjoys baking banana bread, getting lost in Powell's, drinking tea with friends, hiking in the Australian outback, and meeting baby sea turtles. She hopes to one day have read every Shakespeare play and Vonnegut novel. If she could have any super-power she would choose teleportation because she loves to travel. She has stayed in Portland after graduation, hoping to gain teaching experience and reading piles of books in her spare time.
