Interviews with Current Faculty Members

The following exhibit items were collected by Fariel LaMountain, Ophelia Baxter, and Sofia Oliviera in April 2021 in a series of Zoom interviews with various female professors within the Colby College Biology Department. For the most part, the interviews were conducted using the same set of questions, though additional questions were added throughout each interview to help us better understand each professor’s personal experiences at Colby and in the scientific community in general.
