# Brooke Kantor The Modern Middle East A.B. 2015 (joint with Government) ![kantor_b.jpg](/sites/g/files/omnuum4571/files/styles/hwp_4_5__320x400/public/nelcnew/files/kantor_b.jpg?itok=Ou4YZ8y-) email *Why NELC?* I became interested in Near Eastern studies during my senior year of high school--the beginning of the Arab Spring. I was very interested in how the events unfolded, and I wanted to learn more about how the region arrived at a situation conducive to such mass protests. Recent related experience: I studied abroad in Amman, Jordan spring semester of my sophomore year. The title of my program was *Jordan: Modernization and Social Change.* - ## People Type [Recent Alumni (Graduate and Undergraduate)](/people-type/recent-alumni-graduate-and-undergraduate) - ## People [Alumni](/alumni)
