The School of Humanities and Sciences is pleased to recognize five students who have received grants and awards this semester that recognize their academic achievement and provide support for their involvement in research projects in the humanities and social sciences.

Kaitlin Kohberger ’11 (Psychology) is this year’s recipient of the C.P. Snow Scholar Award. This award recognizes students who demonstrate that they are working to bridge the gap between the sciences and humanities through their undergraduate studies and co-curricular activities.

The Fred L. Emerson Humanities Collaboration Award has been granted to Serena Longo ’11 (English) and Kristin McClune ’11 (History). These awards support collaborative research projects in the humanities between faculty and students; they provide financial support to meritorious students so that they can devote time and attention to such scholarly projects. During the summer of 2010, Serena will be working with Elizabeth Bleicher, assistant professor of English, on the project “Hope for the Humanities: Cultivating Engaged, Intentional College Learners”; Kristin will be working with Jonathan Ablard, assistant professor of history, on the project “Disease and Health in Latin America: A Survey of English-Language Sources.”

Heike Domine ’11 (Spanish and English) and Abigail Dubovi ’11 (Psychology) have received grants from the Janet Kalinowski Student Development Fund; this fund provides support to students who are engaged in the study of issues surrounding gender and social position. Both Heike’s project, “Women's movements in South America: Chile and Argentina,” is being guided by Annette Levine, assistant professor of modern languages and literatures; Abigail’s research on “The experiences, identity development, and well-being of Asian American adoptees” is being guided by Carla Golden, professor of psychology.
