Laken Brooks is a senior Literature major at Emory & Henry College who hopes to either attend graduate school or begin working with English Literature in the near future. She is passionate about education and interdisciplinary studies, and believes that academics have a responsibility to promote broad, diverse knowledge. As someone who struggles with math anxiety, she recognizes the importance of math to literature, especially poetry, and is therefore studying how poetry can help to reduce math anxiety.
