Katherine Ross ’22 ECONOMICS Certificate in Environmental Studies ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY AND SOCIETY THESIS TITLE You Versus Me: The Effect of Primary Language Verb Conjugation on Tolerance Attitudes and Altruistic Behaviours ADVISER Alessandro Lizzeri, Professor of Economics Language is a critical means of communicating thoughts and emotions, but we still have much to learn about the extent to which a person’s linguistic background can influence the way they think about and perceive the world. Evidence in favor of the linguistic relativity hypothesis has found that language influences people’s color perception, open-mindedness, and saving behavior. My research sought to contribute to this debate by using responses from the most recent World Values Survey to test whether the structure of verb conjugation in a respondent’s primary language shapes how they relate to other people, in this case measured as their reported tolerance attitudes and altruistic behavior. I found that speakers of languages that do not distinguish between persons in their verb conjugation tend to be more likely to value unselfishness, less averse to living next to people who are different from themselves, more accepting of immigrants, and more likely to care about the environment. Except for the finding related to the environment, my results remained robust at the within-country level and when controlling for cultural confounds. 21
Ruth Schultz ’22 INDEPENDENT LINGUITICS Certificate in Environmental Studies THESIS TITLE Collective Circus Project: Take Care ADVISER Jane Cox, Professor of the Practice, Theater in the Lewis Center for the Arts The end product of the Collective Circus Project was an original contemporary circus show created and directed by everyone in the cast and performed live Feb. 4-6, <strong>2022</strong>, in the Wallace Theater at Princeton’s Lewis Arts Complex. The aim of this project was to create a show centered around the ways in which young people from diverse backgrounds and life experiences find sustainability — or its absence — in our lives. Beyond just the show being about sustainability, we also aimed to make the creative process itself sustainable. We drew from scholarship on the intersections of social justice and the rapid technological and infrastructural changes necessary to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 to understand “sustainability” as a term that necessarily includes not just climate, but also sustainability in our communities, our close relationships, and the way we treat ourselves.
