Hodson Collaborative Research Program
The Hodson Collaborative Research Program funds research (and sometimes creative work) in the humanities and social sciences conducted by students and faculty working together. Faculty apply for funding with research proposals identifying students who will effectively contribute to the work and grow as researchers through the process. For funded projects, the students are paid as research assistants, with most or all of the work occurring over the summer.
