I designed an interdisciplinary major called Performance Studies.

And it was inspired by, it was based on the graduate programs at NYU and Northwestern.

So it was like the study that performance plays in different societies and cultures.

But you have to, to design your own major, you have to write this whole thesis and defend it because they want to just make sure you're not trying to get out of taking statistics.

So I had to kind of really work with all these academic mentors and come up with this program and design a curriculum for myself and...

Yeah, I'm just, I'm super interested in how we perform like professionally, all of us, but also how we perform just in our everyday lives.

Like when I'm playing a character, I like to think about

how she's become who she is and how she thinks and how she lives in the world and how society impacts who she is.

So I do feel like I use some of my, I feel like such a nerd, I've been talking too long about this.

But I use some of my social science.

Sociology is more the study of society.

And culture, yes.
