United Kingdom | Graduate School of Education, Ed.M. Education Policy and Analysis

Chloe’s interests lie in challenging social and class-based inequalities in education through need-led policy and youth empowerment, inspired by her experiences of state-school education in the UK. She graduated with a First Class BA in English Language and Literature from New College, Oxford, along with the Colgate Literary Prize and the Gibbs Prize for academic performance. During her undergraduate degree, she was struck by the huge disparities between her peers’ experiences of education and her own, and subsequently worked closely with her college to increase access to university for low-income students. She was also involved with a number of education charities and non-profit organizations, working in areas with high socio-economic disadvantage, and running university outreach initiatives across the UK. After graduating in 2020, Chloe moved to Madrid, Spain, where she taught in a public school improving the English language skills of native Spanish speakers. Concurrently, Chloe worked as an associate at the education start-up Knowledge Collective, developing an annual international leadership summit for young people, focused on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. At Harvard, she hopes to further her work on closing the attainment gap for disadvantaged students, while expanding her experience into international education policy with a focus on the Philippines, home to much of her family.

Australia | Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Ph.D. in History of Art

Tai Mitsuji is a writer and art historian who is interested in disrupting the thematic and temporal modularity of art history. Rather than being pinned to a single era, his work seeks to track ideas across both time and culture – drawing a line, for instance, between the salons of 19^th century France and the windows of department stores today. Alongside his academic pursuits, he works as an art critic publishing in a variety of prominent international and domestic publications, and was formerly the Deputy Chairperson of Runway Journal. Through this work, Mitsuji has continually sought to represent diverse perspectives and detail the various cultural contours of Australian and global communities.
