Elsa Westerlund is a writer and J.D. Candidate at Harvard Law School.
My academic interests revolve around how money moves across borders and what the law has to say about it. I’m particularly interested in the taxation of multinational corporations and (re)examining theories of income taxation through the lens of economic equality. My work draws from methods in Law and Political Economy, economic sociology, and political geography.
Literary writing was part of my life long before the law. I’m the author of Vertigo, a blog exploring themes of memory, self-hood, and knowledge generation in modernity.
I earned my B.A. in Political Science from Middlebury College and feel most at home somewhere between Vermont and Hong Kong. In my free time, I enjoy historical fiction, blues rock, and hot pilates classes.
