Sofia Mikulasek

Sofia Mikulasek ('27) lives off-campus and is studying Philosophy. She is interested in the sources of our normative reasoning, our moral obligations to animals, and why, exactly, we don't (or do) have moral obligations to machines. She also wonders about how our words come to have meaning, and puzzles over the (later) work of Ludwig Wittgenstein. She is a graduate of Deep Springs College, where she led the committee responsible for curriculum development and assisted in the care and keeping of the ranch. At Harvard, she writes and edits features for the Harvard Advocate, leads trips with the Outing Club, edits for the Harvard Review of Philosophy, and serves on the Student Advisory Board for the Arts and Humanities division.
