Elisa Durant/Hooks

College Professor Elisa is an adjunct history professor at Temple University teaching modern history classes. Maybe you are a student. Maybe you're a colleague. Maybe you just know too much about history?

Plain Reader Elisa is an avid follower of the Plain Blog and attends meetings whenever possible. She's done some direct action, but she's still very much a talker rather than a do-er. But she wants to change that and is actively looking for a chance to really make a difference.

Small Animals Galore Elisa lives alone - well as alone as you can get in a small apartment that also houses two guinea pigs (Coco and Chocolate) and a pair of cockatiels (Boomer and Stomper). She is happy to talk small animal and bird care with anyone that will listen. She is also looking in either getting more guinea pigs or possibly pet rats. Good thing her apartment is pet friendly!

Education Activist Elisa was born in a place and to parents who were able to provide her with a top-notch education. But she is all too aware that not everyone is as lucky as she was. Education, good education, should be available to everyone, no matter their race, class, ethnicity or whatever. She wants to help make that a possibility.
