Humans of Social Science | Kaitlynn Mendes
Curiosity has a way of leading people exactly where they are meant to be — even when the path isn’t planned. For Professor Kaitlynn (Kaity) Mendes, her journey into Social Science began not with sociology, but with journalism. What started as a love for writing and storytelling slowly evolved into something deeper: a fascination with people, history, culture, and the complexity of social life.
