Love Boussiquot Named SURE Summer 2015 Scholar at Stonehill College

2015 Apr 9

Love Boussiquot, a member of the Class of 2016 at Stonehill College in Easton, Mass., has been named a Stonehill Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) Summer 2015 Scholar. The SURE program provides students with an opportunity to perform significant, publishable research under the guidance of an experienced faculty researcher at the College.

The research experience will help to provide students with a competitive advantage in graduate and professional school applications and in post-college employment opportunities, as well as to provide assistance to faculty in research activities.

Boussiquot will be working with Assistant Professor of Communication Wanjiru Mbure and one other Stonehill student on "Learning about Race and Intersectionality in the Liberal Arts Classroom."

The goal of this project is to produce two chapters of a proposed volume entitled Teaching Race & Ethnicity. The summer’s research will build upon preliminary data collected during the fall regarding attitudes of teaching and learning experiences of race and/or ethnicity.

The students will review existing literature, collect data from interviews and online surveys and perform data analysis. In addition to the aforementioned chapters, the group hopes to present their research at the Lilly Conferences on College and University Teaching and Learning or the Teaching Professor Conference.

Boussiquot is a Communication major.
