Allegro Wang is an undergraduate at the University of Minnesota pursuing degrees in Gender, Women’s, and Sexuality Studies and Geography. Their interest in rhetoric and communications comes from their participation in policy debate, which they have been involved in since 2012, both as a participant and as a coach. Allegro’s concentration in Gender, Women’s, and Sexuality Studies has centered analysis on how rhetoric is a gendered and racialized system of exchange. Their work in Geography has focused on using a humanitarian lens to inform project goals in Geographic Information Sciences (GIS). Specifically, they are interested in how GIS can be used to demonstrate the uneven and racialized distribution of environmental harm.
