Matthew Garlo

Majoring in Sociology
Siena College
From Westfield, MA

I'm a junior at Siena College participating in American University's Washington Semester Program with a concentration of Justice & Law. While studying sociology and political science, my mission-driven attitude has led me to a focus on the evolving legal climate of the U.S., where I strive to make a personal difference in the near future. As an avid student researcher and current intern at the ABA, I am priming myself for this future today.

Student Researcher at Siena College

Through the sociology program at Siena College, my research has expanded from topics in the civil rights movement to an assessment of American's obsession with presumed "racial athetic-genetics". Currently, my thesis research is delving into the largely unaddressed relation of hate and terror within the modern U.S. I am also working with members of the Siena sociology department, comparing the decriminalized drug policy in Portugal with drug policy in the U.S.
