  5. Hunger Games: Wealth Vs Power

This first year seminar class in particular aims to explore issues of wealth, power, and disinformation through the lens of The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins. In addition to reading the full series, we will reflect on parallels to modern society and people. This class will not only be engaging (and hopefully interesting) but it will equip you with the skills to think in an interdisciplinary manner in the future.

Hannah Finkelstein

Hannah Finkelstein is a graduate of two North Carolina institutions of higher education. She matches her teaching skills from her Middle School Education degree from Barton College with her passion for social justice and higher education fostered during her masters program in Higher Education Administration at North Carolina State University. After a few years of adjunct teaching, Hannah is thrilled to join the rank of full time first year seminar lecturers. Her goal is to make sure students feel welcome and at home in the classroom to encourage dialogue and conversation around a variety of topics. In the 2023 Fall Semester, Hannah taught Power, Privilege, and Action, a course focused on social change and activism, and Howdy Neighbor: Getting to Know Yourself and Your Community. 

In her time outside the classroom, Hannah enjoys fiber-work, playing Dungeons and Dragons, and longs walks with her cuddly Great Pyrenees, Moose.
