Gould Center Humanities Labs

LOOKING FOR A CHANCE TO PURSUE INDEPENDENT RESEARCH IN THE HUMANITIES IN A COLLABORATIVE SETTING?

The Gould Center’s Humanities Labs offer students a funded opportunity for hands-on experience in humanities research in a team-based format and in close mentorship with a faculty member.  These year-long labs engage students in creative, project-based problem solving related to some of the most central humanistic issues facing us today on both a personal and global scale.  Research findings will be presented in both traditional and creative formats, from academic papers to op/eds, short stories, films, websites, and podcasts. Open to CMC students of all class years, with preference given to humanities majors or prospective humanities majors. Students selected for the program will receive a $2000 fellowship award. Workload per week will vary, but is expected to average approximately six hours per week. Partial financial support for this initiative has been provided by the Dean of Faculty’s office.
