Friedberg Fellowship Report

Hiking boots and diving snorkel: Theresa Morley-McLauglin '21 needed both for her research on French National Parks

“During my visit to Calanques National Park, I explored the park’s marine territory by scuba diving, which turned out to be an unexpectedly powerful experience because it forcefully reminded me of the importance of all living creatures and ecosystems. Although I know that climate change is an incredibly far reaching problem, when I think of its negative effects, my brain goes first to the shrinking glaciers and the poor polar bears. I don’t immediately consider the fish, crustaceans, arthropods, or underwater plants whose habitat is likewise threatened by our changing planet.”

From Buddha Bowls to Faux-gras: Caleigh Paster ’21 on a Quest for Plant-based Cuisine in France

“One of (my host mother’s) friends runs a Facebook group for vegetarians in Aix, where every week they get together at a restaurant, taking over the storefront, to eat a wonderful plant-based meal. I had not expected this support and community that surrounds the vegetarian culture in France. However, this community is only found if you seek it out. As my host father made clear, the classic French dishes are not vegetarian: foie gras, croque monsieur, escargot, etc.”
