I am Joel Lim, an undergraduate from King’s College London pursuing a degree in History and Political Economy. My interests lie broadly in history, with a particular focus in economic history. Few months back, a found out about the Harvard summer program online and was immediately intrigued by it. The opportunity to engage with fields such as ecology, climate, and human evolution was greatly exciting to me. Looking back at the program, I can say with confidence that the experience far surpassed my any expectations that I had going into it. The summer program not only deepened my appreciation for how the seemingly contrasting disciplines of the Sciences and Humanities can harmonize in the pursuit of knowledge but also increased my appreciation for research methodologies and field work.
