Department Graduate Students Win Summer Research Fellowships
Recently several graduate students from the department were recognized with summer research fellowships.
Three graduate students were named Pardee Center Summer Fellows. The three students and their areas of research are 1) Sahar Abi Hassan (politcal trust in Venezuela and Spain), 2) Junda Jin (water policy and trade in China), and 3) Claire Seulgie Lim (gender politics in Senegal). These three political science students comprise three of the nine total fellows from across a variety of departments.
A fourth graduate student, Eniola Anuoluwapo Soyemi, was awarded a Long Term Graduate Research Abroad Fellowship from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. This $10,000 grant will support Ela’s research in Nigeria on the subject of the significance of participation to the moral legitimacy of law.
The GRS also awarded graduate student Joo-Hee Suh a 2015 Summer Research Fellowship. Joo-Hee will use the $6,000 award to spend time at the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities at Bard College in New York, researching their archives and participating in their conferences, to further her dissertation on the political philosophy of Hannah Arendt.
