One of the Humanities Center’s primary goals is to expose students to the practice of humanistic research. The center’s student research fellowships give students opportunities to develop their skills and help faculty members advance their projects. Since 2009 more than 400 students have held research assistant positions through center funding during winter and summer breaks.
Although faculty-student collaboration has been a hallmark of a Carleton education for many years, research opportunities had been more commonplace in the sciences than in the humanities. The Humanities Center has been able to fund student researchers to work in dozens of different disciplines since its inception.
Humanities Student Fellows Program
Humanities Center Fellows are given the opportunity to explore the humanities with peers and professors in engaging, informal settings.
Undergraduate Research in the Humanities
There are multiple opportunities for Carleton students to engage in humanities research at Carleton either independently or in conjunction with faculty. Some are opportunities are provided by the Humanities Center, while others are provided by allied programs.
Night Owls!
You’ve done your homework. It’s too early to sleep. What should you do? Join Prof. Daniel Groll and a scintillating guest for late night, slightly irreverent conversation on topics from the serious to the absurd. Also pizza. Maybe swag.
Undergraduate Journal of Humanistic Studies
A peer-reviewed academic journal that promotes undergraduate research in the humanities and social sciences, the UJHS is a collaborative initiative that encourages students from diverse academic communities to share and discuss their written work.
