Charlotte Biocchi

Charlotte is a senior in the Sciences Po-Columbia Dual BA Program, majoring in Political Science. While she was in Sciences Po, she specialized in Latin American studies, where she shaped her interests for postcolonialism and transitional justice and started volunteering in prisons. Charlie is interested in the prevention of violence through the intersection of social justice and environmental justice. She interned at the French Ministry of Justice in a mission that aimed to counter the process of jihadist radicalization in prisons, as well as a criminal investigator for Bronx Defenders. On campus, Charlie works for Professor Eduardo Moncada as a research assistant and is also a member of Sunrise Columbia and the Columbia Policy Institute. This past year, with Sunrise, Charlie organized a fossil-free research campaign to expose Columbia's ties with the Big Oil industry. Charlie is also involved in Sunrise NYC and the Climate Campus Network. In the past, she participated in several political progressive campaigns and activist groups, both in the USA and in France. In her free time, Charlie enjoys dancing and surfing, a passion that led her to involve herself in the protection of the ocean and its marine ecosystems.
