Lauren&#8217;s passion for law and politics inspired her to get her Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science. &#8220;I have always been outspoken and opinionated. Therefore, the goal of being a voice for others who have no voice or don&#8217;t feel strong enough made perfect sense to follow a law path,&#8221; Lauren said. This goal also piqued her interest in working for the URI Center of Nonviolence and Peace Studies.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two main issues that Lauren helped with during her internship at the Center were misinformation and the housing crisis. To address misinformation, Lauren and the team presented&nbsp;<em>How to be Media Literate Citizens: The Role of Researchers, Journalists, and Students in the World of Heightened Disinformation, Conspiracy Theories, and Hate<\/em>&nbsp;conference under the mapping misinformation panel at URI. She also helped organize the two-day conference,&nbsp;<em>Get Housing RIght<\/em>, presented by Jennifer Vincent, under the leadership of the Center director Dr. Skip Mark, which had a variety of panelists that spoke on this pressing issue. Specific attention was given to homelessness and affordable housing for the housing crisis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations to political science major, Lauren Smith on winning the Art Stein Scholarship for 2022. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4615,"featured_media":29828,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29826","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/nonviolence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29826","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/nonviolence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/nonviolence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/nonviolence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4615"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/nonviolence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29826"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/nonviolence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29826\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29837,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/nonviolence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29826\/revisions\/29837"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/nonviolence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29828"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/nonviolence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29826"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/nonviolence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29826"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/nonviolence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29826"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
