Claudia Lewis

Claudia Lewis is a fourth-year Stanford student finishing up her interdisciplinary degree in Symbolic Systems. Minds, language, communication, and the ways in which humans connect or fail to are central to her studies, both in and outside the classroom. She spent her early life bouncing among New Zealand, the DMV, and Buffalo, NY, forming a multicultural set of values, including an uncompromising commitment to community care. Claudia is an avid reader, greatly inspired by the works of Kurt Vonnegut, whose writing is the closest external portrait of how she thinks. Philosophical and psychological inquiry (including 2 years of research with the Stanford Social Learning Lab and a summer with the Causality in Cognition Lab) are also mainstays of Claudia’s set of propulsive forces. You can typically find her on, in, or near a tree, likely contemplating the human condition, undoubtedly with some wisdom from the likes of Jimi Hendrix leaking in through her (predictably) green headphones. If not, email works fine.
