Academic Biography
Lispeth is currently a graduate student with primary research interests in Medieval Islamic theology and philosophy. Prior to coming to Harvard, she was an undergraduate in the Religion Department at Princeton (magna cum laude), where she garnered an A+ for her senior thesis, “al-Ghazzali’s Character Ethic in Context.” However, Lispeth actually headed off to her undergraduate studies intending to be a mathematics or physics major, having taken Multivariable Calculus, Calculus-based Physics, and Linear Algebra in high school. She also participated in competitive-entry summer math programs at M.I.T. and Stanford. SAT: 1590 + 800 Writing. GRE: 1450 + 6.0/6.0 Writing.
Personal Biography
While at Princeton, Lispeth also completed a minor in studio art, and has traveled and studied in Egypt (including the Sinai desert), Europe, and received a grant to road trip across the United States – Jersey to Louisiana to Death Valley to Washington – shooting pictures. She still tries to fit photography work into her academic schedule, which occasionally requires turning her bathroom into a darkroom! Lispeth’s past work experience has included working at a specialized technology and investment company, running a small art gallery, and working as an “oil monkey” in an auto shop (changing oil, rotating tires, etc.). And while she has thoroughly enjoyed all of these roles, her dream is to become a professor and spend her life writing and teaching.
