For the Olin course Sustainability: Science, Society, and Systems (“4S”), I co-wrote a short play about the experiences of people who have lived near corn in their lives.

Our goal was to learn more about the cultural effects of living near massive agricultural operations in the United States. We conducted around 12 interviews with different people who have lived or currently live near corn, and then wrote a testimonial-style play based on those interviews.
