Hi 423C Classmates,

My name is Sammy Barker and I am a fourth year Honours Political Science soon-to-be graduate. I have currently applied for law school to start in September, so sadly these are my last few months in Vancouver before I relocate somewhere east of here. I grew up in a small farming town in the interior but have loved UBC and Vancouver. I enjoy Southeast and South Asian politics as I spent many years in Asia while growing up. I also enjoy reading about migration, refugees, and international law particularly with a focus on international law of the sea. Feel free to send me links relating to these topics!

When I’m not reading politics, or course material, I am a huge ski junkie and spend most of my free time and holidays at a ski hill. I also enjoy doing yoga, dancing and watching Harvey Spector close case after case on Suits. I am also addicted to Tim Hortons, and my addiction will soon get worse with starting this class at 9ams on Thursdays.

See you all Thursday!
