Hello, Adams House! I come from Melbourne, Australia—I came to Harvard College in 2008. During my undergraduate years I lived in Mass Hall and Lowell House and sang with the UChoir Choral Fellows. I’m a G6 in the Department of Comparative Literature now, and study poetry and psychoanalytic theory—my research is in subjectivity in poetics, and the idea of catharsis or clinical benefit in poetry and psychoanalysis alike. Alongside my dissertation, I’m also studying to become a Lacanian psychoanalyst. I have experience working in community mental health organizations, in both leadership and support roles.

Hiya Adams! I am delighted to return after graduating in Government from the house in 2014. Hailing from the proud state of North Carolina, I traded my overalls (just kidding, I still own a pair) for a down jacket and fell in love with the cobblestone streets, abundance of museums and ice cream establishments, and face-numbing chill (I'm serious!) of Cambridge. After spending a year at Google in San Francisco, I returned to Boston to work for a research firm and study opera at the New England Conservatory. Now I'm back at Harvard as a third-year at the law school, where I am broadly interested in civil litigation, constitutional law, and law and the arts.... Read more about Medha Gargeya
