Braelyn is a 2nd year Ph.D. student in the Sociology Department at the Graduate Center. Her research interests are in science and technology, as well as inequalities, race, gender, sexualities, social change, and much more.
Braelyn works as a research assistant at the Ralph Bunche Institute for International Studies, investigating the political ideologies of the richest people in the technology industry. Simultaneously, she teaches at The City College of the City University of New York as a Graduate Teaching Fellow. Here, she developed two courses that had not previously been offered at this department: Science, Technology, and Identity, as well as Digital Sociology.
Braelyn has a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry with a Biology emphasis from the University at Albany, State University of New York. She has experience working in libraries at SUNY Albany as well as work at the Westchester County Laboratories and Research Environmental Lab. When she finds time, she indulges in too many hobbies including (but certainly not limited to) PC building, 3D modeling, sculpting, and epoxy resin craft. She has recently spent time building an ecommerce store and learning related skills such as search engine optimization (SEO) with a business partner.
