Having spent her entire academic journey within the Cambridge community, Katelin offers a thoughtful meditation on what it means to carry a formative education into a new and very different intellectual environment.\n\nShe explores Cambridge’s both-and approach to learning, one that holds the humanities and STEM together rather than apart, and resists reducing education to a narrow means toward a career outcome. As she encounters a culture shaped by specialization, Katelin articulates how a classical education formed her to see learning as an integrated pursuit aimed at understanding the full human experience.\n\nThrough reflections on curriculum, interdisciplinary connections, and teachers who embodied intellectual breadth and curiosity, this conversation highlights the lasting impact of an education ordered toward wisdom, virtue, and joy in learning. It is a story of becoming, of seeing patterns across disciplines, and of discovering that learning deeply in one field is enriched, not diminished, by engagement with another."}
