On April 16, several of our students presented their research at the UVM research conference. We soul like to congratulate the following.

Joseph Friedman presented “Avoiding Eugenic Genomics: Reconciling Concerns of Disability Communities with the Evolving Clinical use of Reproductive Genetics” (Advisor: Jeanne Shea).

Codi Hindes and Julia Burns, “Sociality of Value in Magic: The Gathering” (Advisor: Ben Eastman).

Brendan Hennessy, “Identifying Runaway Hotspots in Bihar, India” (Advisors: Jonah Steinberg and Beverley Wemple).

Congratulations to anthropology major Rachel Aronson (Class of 2014) who has recently been accepted to the Emerson National Hunger Fellowship Program at the Congressional Hunger Center in Washington DC! Each year, the fellowship program accepts 20 individuals from around the country to take part in a year-long program where fellows gain experience working on poverty and hunger alleviation efforts at the local and national level. This fellowship is a great next step for Rachel who will soon defend her senior honors thesis on the intersections of food insecurity, culturally appropriate food, and domestic violence. Congratulations Rachel!!
