Lucy Boxinov

Hello! I’m Lucy Bozinov, and I am a senior studying History at Rice University with minors in German and Politics, Law, & Social Thought (PLST). I have many interests broadly pertaining to the humanities, including art, philosophy, and language studies, with my primary area of study being social and political thought, as well as gender and women’s history. I am currently pursuing an honors thesis in History, and under the direction of Dr. Lora Wildenthal, I am researching gender politics in Germany post-WWII. My topic pertains specifically to the ideological motivations behind political and media discussions (or lack thereof) of sexual assault committed against German women by occupying soldiers. As a Humanities Moody Research Fellow, I am also conducting a research project on Houston’s protest culture with Dr. Liam Mayes's support. I am attempting to uncover a comprehensive understanding of the material conditions that impact resistance movements in our city. Outside of these areas of research, I am very interested in languages, philosophy, and art.
