Fellow Bio:

Lindsey Locks ‘07 hails from Philadelphia, PA. She majored in history at Princeton and minored in African studies. Lindsey had always had an interest in post-colonial societies, but her interest in Africa reached a new level when she studied abroad at the University of Cape Town, which served to provide the academic basis for her studies on Africa and also enabled her to travel around Southern Africa. Lindsey also found a summer internship through PiAF and spent last summer in Namibia working for a small NGO which provides HIV/AIDS education for Namibian school teachers. Lindsey is psyched to get a chance to explore a new part of Africa and to learn more about emergency relief – she will be working for the United Nations World Food Programme in Uganda.
