Sheridan Libraries Summer Research Fellows Present...

Description

Please join the Winston Tabb Rare Books and Manuscripts Research Center for an evening of learning and celebration with five of our summer 2018 research fellows, supported by the Sheridan Libraries and Alexander Grass Humanities Institute Dean's Undergraduate Research Awards and the Hugh Hawkins Research Fellowships for the Study of Hopkins History.

Using rare and archival materials, these researchers identified new questions and uncovered original answers--in the form of essays, short films, and an exhibition, among other project outcomes. Presenters include:
