“My eldest Ali completed her undergraduate studies at Harvard University and earned a master’s degree in dramatic arts (and anthropology) today,” he stated.
Sean said that the university’s Humanities Department awarded his daughter the Dean’s Prize for the Outstanding Thesis. He stated that her research is significant for everyone, not just artists, in an interview with People about her thesis.
“I can’t wait for Ali to continue producing art. Her doctoral research is crucial for understanding the nature of human emotion in drama, not only for professional artists but for our entire species. He remarked, “Who knows where that will go?
He went on to say that Ali’s employment in the family business has given them the chance to work together, implying that she is producing a film that he would direct. We might be able to test out some of her thesis concepts. The possibilities for Ali’s future are endless since she is an original,” he remarked.
Ali claimed that her father, who has encouraged her since the start of her degree, is responsible for her achievement. Of all the people I know, my dad has the biggest heart. He really stood on his tiptoes for five hours in Harvard Yard, just taking it all in, and nowhere was it more apparent than at this graduation, she recalled.
In her thesis, she stated, “I sincerely thank my father for teaching me how entertaining and cathartic it can be to embrace absurd emotion. He is at fault for the weirdness I inflict upon the world.”
