Hi, I’m Leslie.
I teach statistics and data science at Macalester College with awesome mathematicians, computer scientists, statisticians, and data scientists as colleagues. I am also an environmental activist passionate about zero waste, clean energy, transportation, and the justice issues that touch these areas.
On my mind right now:
- Shutting down the Hennepin Energy Recovery Center (HERC), a trash incinerator in North Minneapolis, with the Zero Burn Coalition
- Doing meaningful work on climate change and sustainability. For an inspiring read, I recommend 📖 All We Can Save.
- Degrowth/post-growth cultures
- Bringing meaningful work that I do out of the classroom into my classrooms
- My favorite problems
This website is a digital garden where I write to remember beautiful ideas and figure out paths forward.
If anything that you stumble upon resonates with you, let’s go on a walk together. 🌈
