Elizabeth Alva-Rajakumar (CAS '16)
Lizzie graduated from BU with a BA in anthropology in May 2016. She then earned a law degree from Loyola in 2019. Immediately after law school, Lizzie began working at the Jenesse Center, a non-profit dedicated to helping victims of domestic violence, as the Loyola Law School
Post-Graduate Public Interest Fellow. She has since become an in-house staff attorney at Jenesse, helping undocumented victims of domestic violence pursue visas and legal immigration status in the United States. She would be happy to talk to undergraduates about how she uses her anthropological training in her work and about the kind of expertise that professional anthropologists provide in legal settings.
