Hello! My name is Dominic Carrese, and I’m from Colorado Springs, Colorado. I have an M.S. in engineering from Dartmouth and will start a Ph.D. in political theory at Harvard in the fall. As an undergraduate I studied political theory and computer science and ever since have tried to maintain, mostly successfully, a fusion of STEM and humanities in my work and research. I enjoy the intellectual balance and complementarity of STEM problem solving on the one hand and normative political thought (reading, discussing, writing!) on the other hand. More importantly, my thinking about justice and technology is improved (and more credible to many) because of my STEM capabilities and degrees. In my classes at (HS)2 I center learning and the love of learning and I leverage my engineering degree for fun, challenging, and relevant projects (e.g., a basketball launcher prototype/model and a triangulated map of campus). I’m so excited to be joining the (HS)2 learning community for a third summer!
