Research Opportunity

NEW! The Honors Program is continuing an effort to offer every semester the opportunity for students who want to "try on" research to apply to work with a faculty on a research project for 1 semester. Students who apply and are selected will register for 1 unit of HNRS 4400. This unit can be used as an Honors Elective. The time commitment for this 1 unit is 4 hours of various research responsibilities each week.

For Spring 2027. Dr. Dan Castilow from the Department of Ethic Studies is seeking applicants for the following project. Students from ANY major can apply!

Project description: Filmmaking as a Research Methodology

This research opportunity introduces students to the methods involved in using film as a methodology in humanities and social science research. Students will gain hands-on experience applying these methods as part of an ongoing research project in ethnic studies and the post-production of a documentary film. Some of the topics covered will include interviewing, sound engineering, digital editing, color grading, and social media marketing. Students should have some facility with social media and an understanding of the core concepts in ethnic studies.

Use the following link to apply! Castilow Research Assistant Application. Applications are due MONDAY, OCTOBER 5TH BY 5PM!
