Nathanael Thomson is a third year student at the University of Houston Law Center where he is a head senior articles editor for the Houston Journal of Health Law and Policy. Before going to law school, he majored in anthropology and archaeology. Through these studies, he was exposed to diverse human stories and experiences which fostered an interest in advocacy. Following his first year of law school, he became heavily interested in environmental law and environmental justice due to its impactful mission, holistic nature, and similarity to anthropology. Nathanael is a Houston-native, growing up learning about and experiencing the challenges and boons of the sprawling city. In his career he hopes to provide avenues for justice in critical communities, advocate for improved infrastructure in Houston, and face the unique challenges of mitigating the effects of climate change in a major urban area. Outside of school, Nathanael spends his time playing sports, like volleyball or weightlifting, or playing video games. At BCWK, he hopes to get exposure to water law and learn about the watershed, as well as learning how to use law and policy to promote EJ goals.
