Sarah Bowman, Molly Nebiolo, and Alexandra Renallo presenting their research at the Board of Visitors meeting.

One of the joys of teaching at a small, liberal arts institution is the ability to mentor undergraduate students and help them bring to fruition their own research projects.

During the Founder’s Week celebrations in February I shared student work from HST 303 American In/Justice with the Butler community. Student work explored the current crisis in the US Prison Industrial Complex. Please check out their blog and materials.

This summer I will serve as James Rick’s  mentor for the Butler Summer Institute. Jimmy’s project “Children, Be Industrious: Modernity, Manual Training and the Middle-Class, 1880-1920” extends his research from HST 301 Theory and Methods  Fall 2013 and from his coursework with John Cornell. This project will be part of his honor’s thesis. Jimmy’s paper for HST 301 has been accepted for publication.

Next academic year, Sarah Bowman will conduct independent research on her project “”Are You With Us?’: A Study of Radical Hoosier Suffragettes from 1900-1920.” This project grew out of earlier coursework in hST 301 and HST 342 Workingwomen in the City, and it will serve as the basis for her honor’s thesis.

Emma Landwerlen presenting her research at the URC, April 2015.

Emma Landwerlen is finishing her interdisciplinary honor’s thesis, “Not a Girl, Not a Boy, Go Away: Understanding the History of the Western Gender Binary in the United States Through Colonialism and Gentrification.” Much of the research was conducted summer 2013 while she was a BSI fellow. Emma also presented her research as a poster at the Undergraduate Research Committee this past April.

Finally, on April 24th Molly Nebiolo, Alexandra Renallo, and Sarah Bowman presented their research and posters from HST 301 and their honor’s work to the College of Liberal Arts Spring Board of Visitors
