Jackson Murphy

Hometown: Whidbey Island, Washington

Major: International Relations with a minor in Comparative Studies of Race and Ethnicity

Three things I love to do at Stanford outside of class: I love fountain hopping, on-campus concerts, and a walk or swim around lake lag.

I could talk all day about: How the nuclear family and the lie of the American dream have destroyed community in America. Additionally how BIPOC, Queer, and Trans communities are consistently targeted and subject to intersectional discrimination.

I would love to connect with guests who work in fields related to: Activism, diplomacy, law, and politics generally.

Biosketch: Jackson is Sophomore from beautiful Whidbey Island, Washington. Growing up on the island has given him a love for nature. He enjoys open water swimming, reading, hiking, music, and watching the sunset with friends. Jackson is deeply invested in campus culture and is apart of club swim, BSU, and Stanford Concert Network to name a few. He hopes to focus more on activism as he continues his Stanford experience. He loves music and jazz plays flute and piano and is intending to learn guitar this summer. He will be a Mergansers Councilor this summer and is so excited to create memories on the lake. He loves meeting new people please approach him about any of his interests, or one of yours!
