We are happy to announce the selection of the spring 2019 cohort of Clement and Linda McGillicuddy Humanities Center Undergraduate Fellows.<\/p>\n

The McGillicuddy Humanities Center Undergraduate Fellows program offers junior and senior humanities students the support needed to concentrate on their coursework and develop research projects, work collaboratively with a select group of peers, participate in interdisciplinary humanities programs, and gain professional skills. Fellows attend, help plan, and promote the Center\u2019s various programs, putting them in meaningful contact with their peers and faculty, as well as the public. Fellows also act as student representatives of the Center\u2019s mission on campus and in the community.<\/p>\n

Our newest MHC Undergraduate Fellows are Connor Ferguson and Olivia Reese.<\/p>\n

\"\"Fifth year student Connor Ferguson is an Iowa native and an English major with an emphasis in literary analysis and a minor in creative writing. After looking at a number of colleges in the area, Connor chose 91¸£Àû because of its \u201crobust English department and receptive faculty.\u201d His project revolves around \u201creviving queer authors in the canon, primarily Modernist Era authors,\u201d he says, \u201cbecause that\u2019s where erasure of queer identity becomes prevalent. We seem to privilege people with mainstream identities, but if we\u2019re looking to place literature in a socio-cultural perspective, we need to include queer people as well. I think it\u2019s important to understand the place of sexuality in influencing literature.\u201d<\/p>\n

Junior Olivia Reese is originally from Pittsford, NY. This Media Studies major is passionate \"\"about her chosen field of study for myriad reasons, not the least of which is the field\u2019s generous umbrella. \u201cMedia studies touches on anything projected out to a mass audience. It\u2019s about how communication affects us, how we affect it, how it evolves with technology and with our experience of that technology,\u201d she says. \u201cEverything that can affect us on a massive scale is media studies. I had no idea how much we were influenced by the media\u2014it overwhelms me sometimes, that I can apply everything I\u2019m learning to real life\u2014sometimes even later in the day after class.\u201d Her Fellowship\u00a0project revolves around the idea of applying George Gerbner\u2019s cultivation theory, which essentially states that people who watch television frequently will be affected by its messages. \u201cI want to apply a modern take to that theory to something as polarized as T.V., namely the Twitter-sphere,\u201d she explains. \u201cIs social media affecting the way we see the world, and will it continue to do so? There\u2019s not much research on social media,\u201d she continues, \u201cbecause it\u2019s so new. I want to see if it tells us something new about the world we\u2019re living in.\u201d<\/p>\n
