political science & international studies

"I realized that malnutrition could be better explained by political reasons than simply by scientific issues."

As a new student at Iowa State, Karin Brandt wanted to help solve the world's hunger problems in the lab. She soon discovered that her "passion lies more with the policies that are instituted for food distribution" and promptly switched majors.

Using her double major in political science and international studies, Karin works with the Center for Sustainable Rural Livelihoods at Iowa State. In her role with the Center, Karin has learned about partnerships with an non-governmental organization which is assisting rural farmers in Uganda improve agricultural livelihoods. She has also researched refugee and forced migration issues in northern Uganda and Burma. "This is the most memorable experience I've had at Iowa State."
