Locating a Suitable Government Division: A Guide
Vidushi Sharma, our Humanities Correspondent, shares her journey of finding academic direction at Princeton University. Last year, she found herself uncertain about her path, considering computer science and economics but worried about their interdisciplinary flexibility.
As the 2024-2025 academic year approaches, Sharma's focus has shifted. She discovered that the Philosophy department was a good fit for her interdisciplinary interests, particularly cognitive science - a combination of neuroscience and philosophy.
In her quest for guidance, Sharma researched other university programs, including Stanford's Symbolic Systems. She reached out to a graduate student in Professor Ken Norman's neuroscience lab at Princeton, who had studied Symbolic Systems at Stanford. Unfortunately, the Princeton professor who also studied Symbolic Systems at Stanford University was not identified in the provided search results.
Undeterred, Sharma found solace in her local resources. She began working in Professor Norman's Computational Memory lab and attending lab meetings to understand neuroscience work. The student and Professor Norman provided her with advice and reassured her about her options at Princeton.
Now, Sharma is a happy and motivated prospective Philosophy major at Princeton. She encourages others to explore interdisciplinary paths and gain perspective through research, whether it be at Princeton or other esteemed institutions like Stanford.
