Scholars-in-Residence offers undergraduate students the opportunity to work on research projects with humanities faculty for four weeks during the summer. Students get to participate in, and contribute to, original faculty research projects, develop skills, and build relationships with peers and professors.
Jackman Scholars-in-Residence (SiR) is an intensive, 4-week paid research fellowship in humanities and humanistic social-science research for upper-year undergraduates. SiR provides students with an opportunity to acquire advanced research skills and experience while collaborating with an interdisciplinary and intellectually vibrant community of peers, professors, and research professionals. Students selected for SiR will work as Research Assistants in small teams on projects led by professors. Students also share group activities including multidisciplinary workshops on research methodologies, standards, protocol, and professional communication; cultural events; and talks featuring professionals such as lawyers, policy-makers, and documentary filmmakers that highlight research-intensive career trajectories.
