The Franke Program in Science and the Humanities at Yale is pleased to announce its

Second Annual Interdisciplinary Research Fellowships for 2015-2016

“The intellectual and physical work has been deeply rewarding so far, most of all for the wonderful people I have met. In the coming year, this research will become the core of my senior essay.”

– Patrick Cage (’14),

Thesis project: “‘To Till It and Keep it’”: Religious Environmentalism in Place on
Land-Based Christian
Intentional Communities”
 

We will hold an information session for interested students on Wednesday, January 28 at 4:00 PM in Room B04 (basement level) at the Whitney Humanities Center, 53 Wall Street.

Fellowships will be awarded to rising seniors to support senior essay, research, or art project proposals that explore new and productive intellectual connections between science and the humanities. Awards are intended to support research during the summer between junior and senior year, or during the following academic year. The application is available today, January 7, 2015 and applications are due by February 18, 2015 at 1:00 PM.

The Franke Program, made possible by a generous gift from Richard (’53) and Barbara Franke, is committed to forging new links between the humanities and the sciences across Yale. The undergraduate fellowships offered by the program support the work of seniors at Yale College whose research is at the intersection of humanistic, artistic, and scientific fields.
