Since many students associate research with the natural and social sciences, it&#8217;s great to see these efforts to promote undergraduate research in the humanities. Directing an interdisciplinary project that drew on research in environmental studies, communication, media studies,\u00a0 gender, and childhood\/youth studies, was a learning experience for me because the project attracted students with a wide range of interests I didn&#8217;t anticipate. Two of the students on the team were psychology majors, along with gender and sexuality studies, and one had a major in kinesiology, along with a self-designed concentration in inclusive performance studies. Their different perspectives took the research in exciting directions. The project is meant to be comparative across language areas, something that hasn&#8217;t been easy to accomplish in these early iterations, so I&#8217;m looking forward to directing a future CURI project that focuses on comparing responses to Thunberg from multiple language areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>St. Olaf students embrace \u201cirreplaceable opportunity\u201d of summer CURI research A recent article on the St. Olaf website covered the Responses to Thunberg CURI project, along with two other humanities projects directed by my colleagues Tim Rainey and Bridget Draxler.
