Announcements (updated July 30, 2009):
Three of the nine B-W Summer Scholars for 2009 were English majors:
- Ashley DiGregorio (collaborating with Dr. Nancy Wurzel) studied the work of Vladimir Nabokov and wrote a paper called "Vladimir Nabokov: Creating Worlds Through Art and Imagination in the American Novels."
- Nicholas Meloro (collaborating with Dr. Michael Dolzani) worked on "The Post Europe Cigarette," a graphic novel.
- Walter Plummer (collaborating with Dr. Ana de Freitas Boe) examined the concept of the sublime, and composed a paper called "Popular Conceptions of the Sublime in Eighteenth-century Britain."
The Summer Scholars program, now in its sixth year, enables students to pursue a research or creative project of their design under the supervision of a faculty mentor. They live as a community throughout the summer and regularly share their varied research projects with each other, with the faculty mentors and with other students and faculty involved in summer research.
The program, originated and led by professor Andrew Mickley, is made possible with the generous support from the George Codrington Foundation.
