Eesha is a third-year finance major with minors in global social entrepreneurship and international affairs. Her childhood affinity for reading and talking too much has led to a lifelong passion for both domestic and global issues. Through her involvement with the Social Enterprise Institute at NEU, she has developed a significant interest in poverty alleviation, social innovation, and female empowerment. Her interaction with the campus’s Asian American community has also led her to pursue productive advocacy for AAPI issues and to strive to become an effective informed ally for disenfranchised groups. In her free time, Eesha enjoys basketball, Beyoncé, and dismantling the patriarchy.

Justin is a Political Science major from Minnesota, dontcha know (he thoroughly apologizes for bringing all that snow with him). He’s also a Math minor because masochism is fun. His extremely conservative father works for the Minnesota State Senate and has been graciously bestowing his knowledge and values upon Justin since he was a wee child, which… yeah, that’s all we’re going to say about that. Hey, we all got interested in politics somehow. Besides being a political nerd, he often geeks out over film and TV, which is how this column came to be. You will frequently find him either doing way too much or way too little. Aristotle, sorry bud, but your Golden Mean is overrated. He feels obligated to put in a shameless Twitter plug, so hit him up at @NotEnoughCooks

Eurometer: Lily Moseley
An Atlanta native, Lily “flew north” to attend Northeastern, where she is now a fourth year International Affairs and Economics major (and yes, the winters have made her repeatedly question this decision). Her life long love of traveling has led her to this semester’s adventure of studying abroad at Sciences Po in Paris. Previously, Lily co-oped with the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women, where she worked toward pinpointing community-specific needs of women throughout the Commonwealth, and with the Harvard School of Public Health, where she helped to coordinate international projects on HIV/AIDS research in Tanzania. In the future she hopes to direct her efforts toward finding innovative ways to make social justice initiatives economically viable.  Her passions include writing, poetically as well as politically, keeping up with current affairs, fashion, impromptu debating and smashing the patriarchy. Oh, and eating southern food (mmm, cheese grits…)
