Her thesis is a cross-methodological comparison of how theoretical, literary, and quantitative work construct feminist consciousness and identity. Over the summer, Rose researched with Political Science Professor Marion Just, compiling literature reviews, performing data analysis, and ultimately publishing a book chapter that explores the differences in US senate candidates’ twitter use based on gender, party, and competitive position. At Wellesley, Rose works as a statistical consultant, research assistant, and writing tutor. She hopes to spend next summer in a research analyst position that focuses on gender equality, so she can further develop both quantitative and qualitative research skills before entering a Political Science PhD program in the fall.
