Annamaria Belevitch is a junior at Columbia College studying Political Science (with a specialization in International Relations) and History. This summer she is honored to be a recipient of the Miller Human Rights Prize, in order to work with the Global Scholars Program and K=1 Project at Columbia University's Center for Nuclear Studies on the legacy of French nuclear testing in French Polynesia. Annamaria is specifically studying the development of radiation-induced cancers and how nuclear testing, environmental justice, and Indigenous rights are approached within international human rights law. With Dominican and Russian roots, originally from Port Charlotte, Florida, Annamaria is incredibly passionate about the intersection between human rights, international law, and politics.
