The Digital Scholarship Summer Research Fellowship is a competitive fellowship for a small cohort of students to develop independent digital scholarship projects. The program, led this year by Carrie Pirmann and Claire Cahoon, focuses on student-led digital scholarship by helping the cohort learn to use digital tools and methodologies and apply them to a digital research project of their design. Library & Information Technology staff from across the organization mentor the students through the process of identifying a research question, understanding research methodologies, and discovering resources to support their projects.
The 2024 fellows:
- Gianna Depina ’26 – Demografias do Cabo Verdianos
- Jackline Masetu ’27 – Sickle Cell Disease in Sub-Saharan Africa
- Malika Ali ‘26 – The Effects of COVID-19 on Pennsylvania’s Justice System
- Thandeka Bango ’26 – Evaluating Equitable Development in Zimbabwe
See their completed projects and learn more about the program on the 2024 DSSRF website.
