Benjamin Koatz is a third-year from New York City. He enjoys dancing, singing, social justice, computer science and freedom. Political Science and Economics are his guilty pleasures and, when he's not dropping mixtapes or fighting the drug war, he spends much of his free time reading books on theory and articles online. He is a former Editor-in-Chief, now a US writer, and hopes to contribute his skills towards making the publication fair and balanced (lol), and interesting and generally super awesome.
